Our 275 sq ft furnished garage should rent for $1600 - $1800/mo and the only extra fees compared to long term is $99/yr to post on furnishedfinders.com. ...I should have this finished by the end of next month, so can keep you updated on whether this plan works and what we rent for. 

I am curious to see how it goes and will provide an update when it's completed. 

Most areas have never updated their zoning bylaws to allow solar to be a primary use.

I have heard comments that homes in TX or GA need a major rehab after 10 years, builders use MDF for trim, pressboard under siding instead of OSB sheeting etc As an investor we buy 1960s homes, they have good bones and are worth an update.

After multiple phone calls and emails, I delivered the following email regarding my PreREO note purchase:  Hi Karen,Any update on this?

I would do some updates and add some color on the walls and maybe throw pillows etc.

Updating pipes, electrical boxes, roofs, appliances, etc.

@David Moore @Daniel Godbout Hi, I was wondering if you could share any updates.

As a side note the "Median" rents for the whole country are on a HUD website and is updated every year to the new rent levels, so you can see how your rents compare to the HUD Median rents. 

There have been a few things that I feel like they could clean up, but it seems like they work hard at updating it to provide a lot of value.
