Househack on a 4/2.5 SFH in Southwest Houston. First property to ever own, a hard fixer up...

I'm allowing a few days to pass - defuse and I'll be approaching this with a fresh set of eyes and a face to face meeting later in the week.

Freshly painted with a modern color scheme to match any decor.

I missed out on a sister house to it last week as my deal was beaten, this house located one block over is newer, new floor, new hvac, new roof, freshly painted, for only 10k more, plus a garage.

That way you’ll get a fresh start moving forward and can decide on what type of REI you want to pursue.

Freshly remodeled, I would say $1300 might be possible but I think $1100-1200 is more reasonable. 

There was a freshly seeded lot where the gentleman's house had stood!

By-Laws, Declaration, House Rules, and other Governing Documents will provide a lot of pertinent details, while the actual Operating Budget, Reserve Study, and Reserve Funding Plan will reveal the actual financial condition IF you understand how these actually affect individual Owners.

They won’t be expecting the same money as their neighbors with the shiny new kitchen and fresh paint.
