Just purchased a single family home complete renovated in Austin, TX (East Austin) and I'm having a hard time finding renters because of the "area".

Do you renovate interiors as tenants leave or do you encourage vacancy by raising rents and getting the rehab done more quickly? 

What would be the cost in Denver to completely renovate the home including electrical, plubling, hvac and roof.

I am not afraid of long distance REI but renovations from a GC I am not familiar with can be a little unerving.

This is important to show your lender so you get credit for your payments towards your total DP at the time of closing.This will buy you time to get the rest of the funds, and also lock up the property.If you negotiate a longer Option period than from now to 4/18, you will have a longer time to get your funding in place, and get a larger total DP credit.

I started with one duplex and now own 1250 units (mostly larger apartment complexes.For now, I'd say keep your powder dry and get more education through some very specific books.Sound good?

You'll minimize your risk of failure and improve your probability of profit/success with a larger reserve. 

This was great for me since it allowed to renovate each unit one at a time without making me pay the entire mortgage payment each month.

Maybe they want out of the business, maybe they inherited the property, maybe they want to buy a larger property and need the money.
