To answer the original question: No you cannot keep homestead, you need to update insurance - it's a few hundred more per year if anything and you will continue to be able to keep your property tax deduction until you purchase another home in Texas you would rather apply it to.

What are your recommendations for kitchen cabinet colors? 

I've done it hundreds of times.

The reason you are seeing a wide range per foot of sale price is because there are hundreds of variables in NNN properties.

I have hundreds of investors who are investing from all over the country as well as abroad.

It can use new windows and kitchen cabinets (the current ones are still functioning fine) but aesthetically and for value purposes, could benefit from a rehab.

No syndication, no hundred dollar cash flow, nothing.

Molding, vinyl flooring under the radiators (only did around them), paint finishes to stairways, finding quality vanities and cabinets that function perfectly.

They can buy and install windows/insulation/cabinets/etc for less than you can buy them for....

best strategy: buy large house with adu, rent it outdone, live for free in bay area, checked.for income, forget all about one hundred dollar cash flow from real estate, go for thousand dollar cash flow from TSLY/NVDY/etc/etc LOLfor real estate, just flip when you had the best opportunity, sell it again in few months or two years for 100-300k profit.dont think cheap in bay area lol
