I can see the cost to entry being a positive one but I am looking to weighing all the options and scenarios.

$280k home for $2,500 rent is a personal choice.

And who better than to recruit a person who is already experienced at such, which there is a lot. 

Everything I've purchased personally, including a recent 4-unit purchased last month, has been heavily cashflow negative initially and it usually takes a good amount of work to get it to cashflow or break even within a relatively short period of time....6-12 month approximately.

Although the percentage of the increase is large, the determinative factors are whether the resulting rent is so great as to shock the conscience of a reasonable person and was effected for the purpose of compelling the tenant to vacate."

You want this to be your backup plan if things take longer than anticipated, you do not want to dip into personal credit cards so i would use a heloc to help with down payment but try to keep a nice available balance on a heloc as your insurance policy. 

From personal experience, this can motivate them to do a final deep clean before handing over the keys.Finally, for peace of mind, you might consider consulting a local real estate attorney.

Personally I would defer this question to someone with design experience, not sure I have seen too many on here commenting.You could do something neutral but remember especially with the rug if it is light color it will likely run quickly.

However, Austin proper has a high barrier to entry due to the sharp rise in property values in recent years.
