The new design takes the home from a 3 bed, 2 bath to a 4 bed, 3 bath, 2,400 sq ft rambler on a large lot in highly desired area.

McKinney is thriving, but so are other parts of North Texas, and a broader perspective could reveal other great opportunities.Here’s what I’ve observed managing a significant number of rentals in the area:Bedrooms and Layouts:3-bed, 2-bath homes consistently attract the largest pool of tenants and have the highest occupancy rates.4-bedroom homes have grown in demand, especially with the rise of remote work, as tenants look for extra space to use as a home office.Square footage is less critical than number of beds and baths.Supply and Demand:McKinney’s growth is driving demand, but the quality of the location matters greatly.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

I'm considering partnering with a non-profit that would manage the sober-living program; with me just providing the house passively for rent on a per bed basis. 

Quote from @Jared Haxton: Hi BP Community,I own a 2-bed/2-bath condo in Prescott, AZ (near Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, hospitals, and medical facilities), and I’m exploring selling it via seller financing.

She did move in two cats during her tenancy (with my permission after the fact), and the house was left in fairly good condition when she moved out:Most holes were patched (though some in the basement were missed).It was moderately clean but needed extra cleaning due to cat hair in the carpets.Minor issues included:A missing doorbell.Missing shower hardware.One of the window blinds needed replacement.A truck bed full of items left in the shed that I had to haul away.Since I was in a pinch between Christmas and New Year’s, I hired professional cleaners for a quick turnaround.

Fix it.We eliminate as much landscaping as possible: we take out flower beds and most decorative features, ideally, lawn mowing is the only job tenants have to do, because we know that's all we can expect from most.

Please reach out if you are a lender or can connect me.5 Bed 2 Full Bath & 2 Half BathExisting Mortgage ~$550,000Home Value ~$1.1+ MilSounds like a great deal.

The house is a smaller colonial with 3 beds and 1.5 baths.

A nicely done fully renovated home here is around 1.1-1.3m; this home is a 3 bed 2 bath 1300+/- sqft with a lot of 5500+/- sqft.
