This property was in rough shape, so I tackled the essentials: new roof, plumbing fixes, and updating the interior to make it livable again.

It took new construction costs from $800-2500 down to $325 / SF and instead of 2 years it can be done in 8-12 months (design, permits, fabrication, shipping, and erection) depending on how much homeowners customized the standard plans. 

Setting up out door grilling space, because if you don't they will so it's a matter of do you want it at random or by designation. 

They are designed to protect the seller (I have disclosed this), but not to substitute an inspection by the buyer.Sellers can only disclose what they have knowledge of.

One big challenge is coming up with the down payment in the first place and waiting for the revenue to ramp up after also investing in great design and marketing.

I'm a licensed contractor focused on interior remodels, and a realtor as well, reach out if you have any questionsBest,Ryan

When a tenant moves out, transfer the deposit back to Checking so it's ready to apply towards expenses or refund the Tenant.If you end up with excess funds in the Checking account, I recommend you transfer it to a third account designated explicitly for future investments.

Talking about poor children and the such is just designed to make me feel bad.

I began the renovation process by enlisting the help of a relative and some of his friends to gut the interior.

So I just went with a clean design, laundry in the unit, HVAC, and new appliances sealed the deal IMO
