And replacing all appliances- Renovate the bathroom with new tiling, etc as neededEntire house needs (not urgent besides the windows + meters/heating):- Replace concrete panel siding and brick veneer- Replace railings on the front balcony and stairs- Bigger project: Convert the ground floor garage into a living space for the first unit (who should I contact for help with this?)

To begin my journey I would like to connect with local investors and offer to bird dog leads that fit your target market.Also I would love to meet more ABQ investors in person or at a meetup.Thank you and I'm looking forward to connecting with all of you
