@Teresa ThomasI’m looking for properties that are liveable with some value as opportunity (outdated kitchens and bathrooms, bad landscaping, gross old carpet).

This thread is somewhat outdated but maybe worth checking out https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/759/topics/880886-what-is-your-ideal-buy-and-hold-deal-in-austin-texas?

Purchase price: $125,000 Cash invested: $120,000 Sale price: $320,999 We took an outdated old 1900 home in the Bates Hendricks neighborhod and reconfigured the layout and made a nice large 3 bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms including 1 ensuite and opened up the living room/kitchen for a nice open concept.

Any SFR are going to be much older with outdated styles and layouts.

Flooring, windows, kitchen/bathroom outdated,ceiling, doors and interior paint and exterior.The majority of my capital would be stuck in the home until I flip or several years of renting (by increasing rent).

They are asking $120,000, which I personally think is to high after evaluating the comps and considering how outdated everything is.

These might be outdated. 

Both of these sites look very shady and out-dated and I can't find much info about them elsewhere online.I believe the guy "helping" me is going to get a portion of the loan (with interest) that I wont be able to pay back.

I personally think letters are outdated, unless your doing volume.

Look beyond the sellers items as this home is in good condition as well just outdated.
