Quote from @Marvin Michel: Hi Marvin,It looks like a solid class C minus rental with 1 br 1 bath.I doubt this will bring top of the market rents, but if you can attract 2 long term renters who get along well it looks like easy money.What I see is it looks dumpy from the street view, but its in a a pretty nice neighborhood of well kept up, MAINLY White painted houses.Maybe blend it to the neighborhood by painting it white vs. what looks like the teal-ish color so popular in Mexico for homes (although maybe that's you target market and if so leave it).It's not going to pull top of the market rents though, because for a class C minus there is no dedicated bedroom and the bathrooms in the competition are probably better.If this were in Austin (with it's high demand right now) it would rent.The giant patches on the inside walls, the shotgun floor plan, the lack of a dedicated bedroom, the bathrooms seem less than competitive.
