Maybe some vibrant accent walls/wall art and pillows, accent blankets and bedding to matchConsider re-theming the kids rooms.Whole accent wall and bedding to match.

@Patrick Thomas Dickinson with her priority being that she only wants to move once, there really is only one option, find the money to buy the other property first. 1) As @Jason Wray suggested go through the work and get a cash-out refi. 2) Get a HELOC 3) Get private money or a hard money loan.The real issue is that being a cash buyer is much better in this Bay Area environment.As a side note, assuming her tax bases is really low on her current home.

Hi @Nicole Blankenship, I'm based in Southern California, but I have started my out-of-state real estate journey in Indianapolis.

Got an offer to purchase today for 185k for all 3 based on the math.

Bought for $210k and recently appraised for $795k.As I’m based in Boston, MA, I would love to invest in other rehab/flips, MFHs, and/or STRs.

Great idea based on a year round secret that most never even realize is a cash flow opportunity.
