Usually improvements are done by the landlord and negotiated into the lease.

The complicating factor is that I already own the land where the new property would be built, which would exclude any improvements from 1031 exchanges. 

I believe we are at a point where you will see people that are in the business of flipping homes and buying homes that potentially will go out of business because they do not have enough inventory to buy, renovate, and flip, or hold because the wholesale inventory is so low.

I’m trying to buy a home from my in-laws and there selling the home to me for 100k the house value is worth at least 200-250k or more, and I plan on making improvements.

Are you ready to fend off any perfect storm of increasing inventory (becoming a Buyers Market rather than Sellers) and Mortgage Rate rises - with no advance notice?

Many capital improvements, improved appearance inside and out.

I thought hopefully the part-time job would help improve my odds of getting a loan through a bank.

I would love to talk with you off-line I’m looking for deals and I’m in Texas as well and I could sure use any sort of skill improvement. :-) 

#Zillow has decided to dump its home inventory in this MSA.

For long term we would have to start with budget as that will dictate what areas we look in, cash flow is going to be tough to find anywhere near Orlando, appreciation and doing value add improvements will go a long way pretty much anywhere within an hour of the city.
