I bet it came out amazing, and now that its almost summer you can focus on the outside!

You absolutely do not need a team to set your pricing, there are lots of free automation tools out there.

I am a first time real estate investor looking the following property : https://www.redfin.com/OR/Forest-Grove/2418-Cedar-Cir-97116/...its a pretty large duplex in Forest Grove OR,  the trick is though, its on a lot zoned for a 4 plex so I am lookinginto house hacking, converting into a triplex, then living in one unit while renting out the remaining two unitsThe left garage has been converted to living space, with a living room, half bath, a laundry room with a sink and some counters/cupboards and a bedroom, it is a part of what was an existing 3bd unitIf I were to acquire the asset, I would first attempt to convert that space into its own unit The line items as I see (be in mind, I am totally new to this) would be to >put up dry wall where the door to the rest of the house is,>add a shower to the half bathroom >install a water heater in the adjacent 3bd unit> install a kitchen in the laundry room, (stove , oven , sink, counter space)>add a shower to the half bath Assuming I can convert it to a 3plex, I could at-least cash flow on my investment after I leave My plan would be to put minimum down payment of 3.5% (FHA loan) that way I can have a decent amount of capital free to do the renovationsThe only concern is when I crunch the numbers to get my ROI, I have no idea how much its going to cost to convert the additional living space to a third unitAny experienced investors here know how I can estimate this before I try to make an offer?

It sounds like unconventional lending and partners seems to be my best bet but I would love some more input from the community!

Now, Austin is now becoming California, but if you live here and are renting then you have better options as an owner occupant, than as a pure investor in Austin.If my Assumptions are fairly accurate, then listen up, if not disregard.Buying a new built house in Austin on limited funds, hoping to sell it in two years so that you can make a tax-free profit, is NOT A GOOD STRATEGY!

For me below is a short list, but bear in mind that my specific STR investment model is 'vacation house for free'. 

I don't think the sheriff will do anything without an eviction having been processed which it doesn't sound like is necessary here.As for the cameras, I think Ring is probably your best bet.

I think one of them is pretty reasonably and may even have a no frills free version?
