Their situation was a little specific as they lived in and operated a business out of their home so they signed up for a NNN lease, and the property was dual zoned residential and commercial so we were able to maximize their value.

New investor here, looking to get started on flips and value add projects in the Denver area.After spending many hours buried in property records searches and financial spreadsheets, I've determined the best way to move forward is to enlist an agent who caters specifically to buyers looking to capture value from rehabbing run down and distressed properties. 

However, the specific details can depend on various factors, including the type of asset, how long it was held, and any applicable tax exemptions.

They can provide insights specific to the Dallas market and help you make informed decisions based on your unique situation.

Last time I did that, my costs came in right at $1000.The OP is vague because it does not address size or location of heater, type of fuel, self-install or hired, permits required or not, and whether or not they care about a specific brand.  

There are habitability standards specific to each location that you as the landlord would be responsible for. 

I’d focus on being the best realtor possible and leave the photography to someone else who is specifically focused on that.

Pick one that is commenting on your specific situation and DM them.

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!
