We realized the screws we were using were too small for the door hinge and we just had to finish that small bottom corner.1/26/25 - We went to Lowes and picked up some 1 1/2 inch door hinge screws (sound in the screw/nail section) and went back to the rental.

One question that I'm pondering is, even with the positive growth, how do I determine rental demand in the area?

Picking up flexible part-time jobs to qualify for a mortgage is definitely a smart move, as conventional lenders typically look for consistent W2 income.

It is how they determine your interest-rate.

This will give you clarity on the numbers and help you determine how to structure an offer that works for both sides.

I hope it picks up but be cautious in that area.

Not a huge increase in cash flow, but you're picking up another appreciating asset. 

Hi Dave, welcome to the real estate worldCollin, Denton, and Grayson counties are great picks with growing demand and strong rental potential.

Every buyer wants some way to determine if they are being offered a fair deal.

That's why we require clients to spend a couple days with us in Milwaukee up front, so we can get on the same page and determine an asset quality.Hint: the hood looks much better on a spreadsheet than up close in person.
