Now, I'm a part-time real estate investor on the lookout for my next buy-and-hold opportunity.

I think that could be worthwhile if the attic could have a kitchen and bathroom added.

I’ve read quite a few of the first timers’ type posts regarding STR, but I’ve not found anything specific to Lake Tenkiller.

His wife talks all the time about how much she loved her old kitchen, which they paid out the nose to remodel in the years it was "their" house.In our case, my wife and I both really disliked our old house, so it wasn't too much of a struggle to move and rent it out.

We didn't do anything major just a bathroom & kitchen remodel.Hope that helps!

Less surprises and less "cooks in the kitchen" over however many years.

I now live in California and self-manage, but I wouldn't recommend it for first-timers.

The kitchen and bathrooms were the biggest areas of concerns as well as the condition of the roof.

We plan to rent out the basement on a medium-term basis - we are going to install a full kitchen down there, put a lockable door between upstairs and downstairs, fence off a private section of the yard, and there is already laundry down there, so it will essentially be an up-down duplex with a separate walkout basement entrance.

It will be even harder for you to make it worth your time if you are a part-timer.2.
