(not sure if I should be looking at Assessed Value or "Just MarketValue)I took a few pictures, the lighting was a bit dark in the 2 extra rooms, but got a few shots.I hope this helps.

Your openess and accountability to the world has helped you lead your way and shine light for others on their own journey.

I invite three contractors to look at the job at a set time.I walk them through the project, give them the schedule we will adhere to and during this process I give them a list of the items I will be supplying, toilets, lights ext.

So scuffs, light dirt marks, etc. don't count, but your kids drawing all over the walls with Sharpies does.

.* fireplace with black metal flashing/backstop* downstairs half bath with old sink/lights/weird rattan wall decor (not in the tropics!)

I have only heard great things about Memphis Invest, in this business you hear everything about everyone and it has never been in a negative light towards them.

I am a big fan of DYI when it comes to changing a light fixture, but not when setting up legal entities.Hope that helps.Ed

My mortgage (includes tax, insurance etc) is $1625/month.Repairs = $2,000 total thus far, close to 240/month. most of which was heavy when I first purchased place and painted, changed light fixtures, window ac units etc. not that much anymore.Expenses: 1625 (mortgage)+325 (utilities)= 1950 + repairs = 2190Income: 895 (garage rent & utilities)+700 (roommate rent & utilities)=1595cash flow= -355 to -595Pros of the situation:I Took action.

I put roughly 13k into it removing wall paper, wood paneling, replacing a drop ceiling in the kitchen with a dry wall ceiling, refinishing hardwoods, adding lighting, and updating some plumbing.$1100 in rent for a 60k property might sound great, but property taxes on the house are roughly $300/month, so its not as lucrative as it might sound, plus the 13k rehab out of pocket is more than my down payment so it cuts my ROI in half.

In the end it comes down to skill, lighting and post production, after a certain price point compatibility of items for desired effect is more realistic a factor than the price point itself..my numbers were for the most part, simply to put it in perspective.
