A countertop would be nice here.

What nice though with that is you build equity quicker.So just adding my experiences with the commercial side, from an owners point of view.Good luck!

I was looking for something cheap, but nice at the same time. my real estate agent pulled through and found this property being sold off market.

Home was nice 4 Bed 3Bth under $550K with a decent size lot/yard and it only required 5% down as a New primary.Now I am not sure how big of a home you need but as you can see $100K covers much more in a scenario like that one above. 

Quote from @Terra Padgett: While cash flow can be nice to see each month, it can be fleeting and inconsistent.

It's nice to hear a different perspective. 

So, when we chat about different Neighborhoods and properties, we're on the same page.References are nice, but why would they not screen the references first, making them useless?

Easy to make updates and reprint to put in nice 3 ring binder.Many people are not logged into Vrbo besides person making reservation and appreciate being able to easy get information.

Even in the nice locations, most top out around $2,800.Of course there is also your increased insurance, vacancy, repairs, CapEx, and the never mentioned reduced rent on the main house since having a stranger living in your backyard usually isn't appealing to most renters. 

As Plano is a pretty nice clean cut buttoned up type of community they don't seem to have a lot of tolerance even for just a few bad apples.Dallas is considering a ban.
