The older parts of the city close to downtown (which arguably could use the most investment) give investors more flexibility with rear alleyway block layout (rare for central Texas) and dual commercial/residential zoning options.

From the other flex spaces I seen in my area, they tend to have ample parking... most of these business will have their own trucks in and out and delivery trucks as well so you would want to consider that when you lay out the buildings and parking lot.  

Layout the new hearthstone (the current ones are cracked).Cabinets are being ordered this week so they'll arrive just in time.

Account Closed our long term and short term goals...and while I know those are very important to lay out a proper road map...still working on that -_-' Unfortunately, my husband and I have a lot of student debt so I think it limits us on the type of investment options we could do as individuals.

It's really hard to visualize the layout and your scenario without having photos, etc. but depending on how things are configured (incoming water line, water heater, etc.)  

It would be a great prospect to gut and turn into 3 upscale condos in 10-15 years, but not good enough to have to gut right now to get a good layout to rent to most tenants.I personally prefer to rent one house for $800 to people that can pay $800 instead of two apartments for $400 to people that pay can $400.

Preferably brick or new vinyl, no corner lots, homes with good layout (3/1+).

.- I do all my own marketing, social media, listing vacancies on websites, etc (we are at 0% vacancy)- I have intimate knowledge of all previous maintenance and the layouts/highlights of each unit, relationships with subcontractors, and honestly I have personal (PROFESSIONAL) relationships with each one of my tenants.I'm sure I could think of some other benefits to hiring me.

We really like this layout and the return on investment on a 1 bedroom so we'll stick with this.  

Comparable homes (some flipped, some not) in the area are going up, currently 200k+ for similar layouts.
