It looks like the units on the 1st floor have some mold that probably was not remediated since the harvey flood :(  - can this be remediated successfully - given the time that has elapsed?

Cleaning expenses are also typically higher on an STR but again that cost is typically past on to the guest.

The kitchen will be fully renovated and opening up to the dining area with updated flooring and lighting.

She denied it, but I explained that I could smell it through the walls and floors (same as you, we lived in the other unit).

Bathroom was redone, flooring and paint What was the outcome?

If you plan to paint the walls in a gray color tone do not use gray floors. 

We'd ideally like to take the first floor (3b, 1b) and convert it into two 2bd units.

You better bet the accountant documents everything 10 ways from Sunday, and cleanly to boot.

When this is all cleaned up wait 45 to 90 days before applying for loans. 

I'm looking to do a major rehab on a rental property that has all hardwood floors and the walls will be painted Agreeable Gray.
