Open office, suggested by @Joe Butcher is a good idea.

I would highly recommend becoming part of the Memphis Investors Group and particularly try to attend their lunch meetings on Fridays at Butcher Shop in Cordova and the Memflips monthly event.

I'm sure I butchered the saying. :)

(Not that we don't butcher it well enough ourselves. ;-)That's as much as you can do with it.

If I told you not to look at houses it would be like me saying " great that you want to become a butcher? 

@Joe Butcher I'm seeing exactly what you've explained around Plano.

Fairly inexpensive countertop material, probably butcher block. 

@John MoorhouseBetter to butcher your presentation in front of a class and get a few comments from teachers/professors than butcher it in front of investors or loan officers and fail to secure money needed for your RE venture. 

Things we’re considering:- Paint kitchen cabinets white, butcher block counter tops, and tile backsplash- Vinyl plank flooring on the main floor instead of carpet and 12” tile.- New (SS) appliances- Supplying W/D- Clearing grass/weed/shrubs around part of one building for sitting/common area.This is a (low) B class building, and again only 12 units, so it wouldn’t make sense to go crazy on the common areas, but I’m very curious to hear what others have had success (or not!)
