Depending on how "ugly" the exterior color is you might need to do that to get people in the door to see what sounded like an otherwise nice rental house.Adding a finished basement with another BR and a Bath is a good value play but I also assume the rent goes up a bit as does that houses value so you need to decide if it is worth it.The rent is a little lower than you saw before so that is a factor.

I would only purchase a brand new LLC created concurrent with the sale of it.

I'll start out by saying that I'm brand new to real estate investment, so please feel free to dumb down any of your replies to my post...

Hi Everyone,My name is Jared Craig, and I'm brand new to real estate investing.

Just sayin.You may want to consider local print advertising to build some branding and create a presence.

I am consolidating my personal brand and want to have my profile page set with the website etc i am developing.

I love fashion but I'm not the big brand name type, but I'll look just as good as the rich people.. haha =p Designing and building my dream home is one of my goals.
