@Kellen Robertson we white washed the stones and then we used a fire resistant black paint on the interior of the fireplace.

Given that an FHA loan has an occupancy requirement, after a year of living in the purchased unit, I would move out and subsequently collect a healthy cash flow from tenants.Once finished, I aim to wash, rinse, and repeat the process all over again I know this is easier said than done, but I'm going to try to get pre-approved for a loan in the next few months so I can pull the trigger when the time is right.My goal:To create a $3,000 per month passive income stream from my property portfolio in five years.Thanks for reading my post and I look forward to hearing from everyone!

What might cost you $5,000 to do, I might be able to do for $1,000.On the flip side, if you tell me a house needs $800 of repair because you think all it needs is the walls washed and new paint for fire and smoke damage, I simply will not look at anyhing you offer me again.
