Thanks for the tip!!!

Complete remodel - roof, stucco, windows, doors, trim, granite, refinished kitchen cabinets, lighting, bathroom vanities, toilets, surrounds, flooring, paint, termite treatment and repair, finished the garage, new landscaping, restored the pool with new mechanicals, new furnaces & water heater What was the outcome?

Am working to line up a lot of work--roofing, foundation, painting, tiling, flooring, electrical, landscaping, etc.

Be careful that you aren’t at the tip top of that range if you increased rents by $300.If you can increase you rental income this might still be a deal worth doing.

@Brian Gerlach great tips Brian.

Any tips for closing the first deal?

I wish we could both qualify for FHA financing at once but the hubby who's a CPA just switched accounting firms last October so he wouldn't qualify without the 2 years of employment at the same company and my income alone probably wouldn't be enough to qualify me to purchase either property by myself, since a big chunk of my income comes from tips and self-employed side hustles.  

Some helpful tips on how to think through a strategy and take the first steps would be awesome!

Any other gotchas and tips that you can think off worth sharing?
