I left the ceiling alone since it was actually in pretty good condition (Ceiling white color).

And based on the pretty colors in the zillow map it looks like it could be a decent spot to find some cashflow.And here's the plan.I am going to tap into the equity of my primary residence.

Im thinking to compose list of items needing work, get estimate for materials such as paint colors, flooring, etc we want then call contractor for bid.

They seem like good deals till you realize they're mostly in an area of town I wouldn't want to be after dark.

We have a "desert fortress" color option.

Use that money as skin in the game to attract a HML.

If you like the color (grey or white).

I'd like to hold property but was advised I didn't need an LLC for each as if I get sued my insurance company will have enough skin in the game to go to bat for me.

I certainly like the idea of digging outside instead of kneeling in a tight dark crawl space, but i wonder if that will work.

And with 15k skin in the game and a 65% LTV, you should be able to find yourself a HML.
