In Florida average homes have minimal molding, usually just base trim and door trim so the texture adds some visual interest to otherwise flat, boring walls.I think drywall texture is a perfect example of how you need to understand your market and your buyer's needs/wants.

I like that the HELOC functioned more as a credit card, and I only had to pay for what I used, so I had 200K of equity on hand, but only had to pay the interest on 120K.

I've found that Rentometer either overestimates or underestimates the rent depending on the location and condition of the property (e.g a house with updated kitchen, bathrooms and flooring will have a higher rent than a house where everything is 15 to 20 years old but still functional). 

Tenant stipulates, represents, and warrants that Tenant has visually examined the Premises, and that it is, at the time of this Lease, in good order, repair, and in a safe, clean, and habitable condition.

There is functionally enough space and parking.

It’s tough to fully visualize the problem from your description.

The kitchen is not about pure function any longer, it is a piece of art all on it's own.

I think it's less a function of people just love the burb life and more that people are priced out of the city as much so they're looking for the "affordable" option ... and that's in the suburbs.And I do think there are still some under-asking properties out there, but anything that's taken care of, that's a remodel (but not an obvious crappy flip), is going quickly now. 

Now for me, personally, I just put a bit more down to make it 1-1.25 DSCR just so the math on LLC's income appears differently for visual reasons but $300/mo($3600 annually and lowering each consecutive year) is a drop in the bucket for what that property will yield me year over year.

I know that is not always the case with functionality items for homes.
