i chose...now i see, wisely, to avoid the Inner Sanctum......Instead I put money  intoGround Floor the Atlanta based r.e investment firm,Ive gotten steady returns for years there, with no problems at all.Been with them 10 years Their stock has done very well for me too.And. their IRA is run by Forge Trust.No bs there they have had steady growth  I pray Ill see my funds from RAAD.Im too old to lose a chunk of what I have

I mean I think about it a lot now that we are closing in on 70.. but hey 70 is the new 50 :) And different cultures handle this far differently than others.. this is why you see some new builds catering to multi generational floor plans..

Apparently a lot of times the owners have more games than their floor can handle and/or have underperforming games that they can sell you.

I've already renovated one of the bathrooms, and I’m planning to paint the interior, update the kitchen cabinets, possibly sand the wood floors, build a fence is a corner lot and increase the rent for the room since my tenant is currently renting the entire 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house for $800 a month.

They request interior pictures and a walk thru.The Upper duplex is a single unit with the kitchen & living room on the 3rd floor and the bedrooms on the 4th.  

Property was sitting on market and needed light updates (roof, flooring, paint) but was in a great area that allows STRs giving me multiple options when deciding on rental strategy How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

My longest recent rehab was 2.25 months and added a half bathroom, took down 4 walks including load bearing, put up 3 walls, new plumbing, electrical, flooring, huge percentage of drywall, an eye brow porch, new kitchen with full layout change and new bathroom with full layout change.  

But at turnover you needed better paint and change out window coverings almost always.. change carpet every other tenant.. glad i had concrete floors in the main living areas..

Had the same issue with some floor joists on a recent sale: Inspector called them out for the span exceeding current code, structural engineer said that according to his math the floor should have collapsed, but it’s not even bouncy and has been doing its job for many decades.

Faux wood floors, new blinds.
