Use some of the $500K to invest in furniture and added security for the property and go live on AirBNB.

Typically they are in the $2000-$10000 range mainly for purchase of used vehicles that they can not get financing on.I have also purchased items for tenants, TVs, furniture etc., for cash at a reduced price and charge the tenant a higher amount with payments.

KDC has two corporate build-to-suit projects underway in Legacy West including a 265,000-square-foot headquarters complex for FedEx Office and Toyota’s North American Headquarters.In addition Chase just announced adding a complex consolidating 10,000 jobs to this area.And just up the highway is the Grandscape development including Nebraska furniture mart.Building on 400+ acres, we are virtually a city within the center of the Dallas/Fort Worth market, an epicenter of growth, in the 4th largest metropolitan area in the nation.And we are attracting the biggest, boldest and brightest names in retail, starting with Nebraska Furniture Mart of Texas, a retail powerhouse that by itself will attract a projected 8 million shoppers a year.Our grand plans for Grandscape include more than just one-of-a-kind retail: Convention center hotel and spaUnique restaurantsAn outdoor amphitheaterAnd more.So this area is still very active, both for sales and building.  

I really want to focus on unique properties that stand out from the other rentals that have things such as a garage, multiple bedrooms, private back yard, patio area, etc.

Now that we are settling in and getting all the new construction costs handled (landscaping, fence, patio, minor home upgrades etc) we are wanting to put our money to work for us in more than just the financial markets.It seems to be tough to find rental properties in the Denver Metro / Boulder Metro area that turn a profit on a 15yr mortgage, but I'm only casually looking while accruing my downpayment.Q: What price point should I be looking into?  

This particular row home does not have any grounds other than a small patio in the back and sidewalk in the front.  

If you are not planning any major repair work, I would have see if you could take pictures in the house with their furniture so the house looked lived in.

Can someone see themselves living in your home right now- I think you may need to give them a little help seeing themselves having family dinners and watching tv or even sending kids off to school.I think with some nice furniture your coffered ceiling will look beautiful.

The house was not quite abandoned and was full with the owners furniture and belongings.

Renters like the private entrance, patio, attached garage, etc.
