You paint the whole house and they change their mind on color, and refuse to pay you twice for two paint jobs.

(I don't care about the paint color or how "out of date" it is.

UTC is definitely a great neighborhood in IR.Would you mind adding some color to the HOA issues you came across?

It even brings the original color back.

Then i email those to my designer who puts together mockups & 3D renderings for me, complete with links to Benjamin moore paint colors, links to the products on Wayfair, etc.

I say this because if that is how you calculate cash flow then you are going to think you have a better investment than you really do and that will color the decisions you make. 

You can do well in the fall with autumn colors seekers.

According to the latest market report by Austin Board of REALTORS (ABoR), Austin's median home price rose by 5.3% to $395,000 in 2019.

21 years ago, I did EXACTLY what you mentioned in your first post.... bought a 2 family building in Brooklyn, lived in the basement and rented the other 2 apts, did not have cash flow but at least broke even.Back then, I bought the property for $340k with a Mortgage of $272k, fixed.That Mortgage is nearly gone and 21 years of rent appreciation has given me a very decent cash flow as the rents rose way above my mortgage and other expenses.This is NYC, it is normal for Market Rents to rise very consistently for a long period of time, barely dipping.That house is current worth $1.7 Million conservatively.

For example, types of coutertops (is laminated dated), types of flooring, color schemes, etc.Thank you very much!!
