I'm brand new to the real estate investing world. 

Anyone investing in the East End & Brauers that can shed some light on the neighborhood?

They seem a little light.

Even better, find a realtor who can find you a deal needing light cosmetic fixes, get it at a discount, have your realtor link you with a reliable contractor, and then get with the PM. 

My problem is that I'm brand new and don't have any buyers lined up.

@Sean McKenna its kinda light blue/ grey, with blue trim. definitely on the older side.I appreciate that!

When were done it going to look like a brand new house.

I'm not a little girl and this isn't my first business venture :-) With that being said, we discussed a $300K budget with a realtor down in PS and he came back saying that it was rather light so that's why I asked someone who is already doing it--what would be realistic.

I know that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen but when I was looking at apartments for my residence a few years ago, the extra rent that they charge here seems like it should more or less pay for brand new furnishings every 18 months or so.
