It is a true duplex, but one side needs to be completely re-done (new sheet rock, appliances, flooring, etc.) as the previous tenant destroyed it.

As far as Cedar Park/ Round Rock area for that strategy is perfect, especially with all the hype from new development in that area.

BP gang, I am looking for a good contractor for sheet rock,tape, float, texture? 

My primary income generates 4200 a month and the mortgage is only 640 a month.Feel like I am between a rock and a hard place right now.I do not spend much outside of my 'debt' and comfortably pay off all of my bills every month.

My new borrowed phrase (shout out to @Erin Wincombe) is that I'm committed to crushing it in 2019.I have a property I just came across and I'm looking for the right partner to invest and some guidance.It's a 4 plex (2bds, 2bth) in Compton CA in a very low income neighborhood and will need lots of repairs - I'm in the process of estimating how much.

Vertical integration is why you are rocking it!!

My current home was built in 1952 and had plaster over rock lath.

My mom owns a 3 bedroom house in Round Rock TX that she purchased May 2011 for 214k. 

It's got to be worth their time, but sometimes the best deals are those you find after kicking over a LOT of rocks. 

You have a lot to be proud of...rock on!
