(He had received over 10 grands commission acting the buyer’s agent though.)Though there are improvement could be done to the property (install an additional bathroom, update kitchens, add compressor for A/C), given we bought it at a retail price, probably it’s not an option to make these updates and sell it.Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

We need update the siding, build a garage, replace the windows, and update the 1st floor kitchen and bath.

A few years ago I did a similar one, 850 sf bungalow, electrical, plumbing, hvac, roof (incl. resheeting), yard, sewer, mild foundation stabilization, new bath and kitchen for about $72K in renovation (pretty hands on as well).

I'm traveling from Boise Idaho starting this morning (5 day trip).If you have or can help me find a single family rental in Austin (move in ready) or know someone who does...I'm looking for a 3 bed 1 or 1.5 bath with:modern kitchen appliances/fixtures throughoutfenced backyard for dogspreferably a fireplace, but not a deal breakerup to $1900 a monthno HOAAlso, looking to make connections in real estate investing there in Austin.

One incident I will always remember when I was doing an open house, was a little girl coming up to me, and noticing that there wasn’t a refrigerator or stove in the kitchen and asked, “Lady, don’t you have any food?”

It turned out kind of nice, and it toned down the fireplace brick.If I were you I might get some general finishes java gel stain and stain the bookcases and mantel dark...unless the kitchen is same woodtone, then no....unless you do the kitchen too.

Everything inside is brand new, walls, kitchen, AC, heating, plumbing etc.

Whereas each apartment would need its own kitchen, living room, etc, hotels typically don't build out a living room or kitchen for each room (with the exception of some extended stay hotels). 

I would look for rough cosmetic fixer with interior walls you can remove to open up the kitchen/living room space (breaking is easier than building).
