It is HIGHLY frowned upon in small business purchases, not sure about real estate but I think you should have a conversation with the lender first. 

Curbio kept emphasizing it's a small project, it's mostly paint, it can be done in 4 weeks.  

I am considering taking the CO/national real estate exam + course hours requirement and becoming an independent broker or associating with a small brokerage (I can see the benefit of associating with a firm experienced in the area and able to bounce ideas off of).

I’m not talking about hanging a picture over a hole in the wall but let’s say small chips in paint on the baseboards might seem like a way bigger deal to a buyer in a vacant home than it would be to a buyer in a staged home.Just our thoughts on the matter and would love to hear other agent’s opinions!

I'm happy to point in the direction of some additional resources as well.

But some places like CA costs just as much for a small deck.

I would recommend starting with something fairly small and close to turn key or with minimal renovations required.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

There is a lack of inventory, so retail buyers are picking up homes quickly.You could look at small MF.
