After just one year, when that tenant vacated, FPM charged an additional $2,800 in turnover costs, with $770 earmarked just for touching up paint on a single wall—borderline comical.

I have a wholesaler I trust who I can put you in touch with if you'd like.

Many traditional banks won’t touch them, and even DSCR lenders will avoid them if the build out is done prior the securing long term debt. 

The past tenant was a hoarder and the apartment has not been lived in or touched since 1999 (26 years)! 

The first few flips I undertook, although marginally profitable I would not touch now.  

These touches help guests see themselves enjoying the space while having their Hills Country vacation.

Thank you @Marc Rice, I will certainly get in touch! 

Congrats on graduating and the upcoming wedding!

This is why clients need to stay in touch with us and monitor the tides in these human affairs. 

Additionally, while rates aren't historically bad right now, they are higher than 4-5 years ago, and they will be even higher for you as an investor than they were as an owner occupant, which is what you were when you bought originally.I get that you are anxious to add to your portfolio, but that could be achieved without touching your first golden goose.Sometimes on BP, the push is to leverage every last spare penny, but that can be a risky game as the markets shift.
