I've got all sorts of off the wall skills (wood working, tile, welding, auto repair, computer/network, electrical, ...etc), which I know is going to be my greatest strength while also causing me to struggle with hiring help.My wife and I bought for 160 in north Austin, and sold for 260 after doing some serious bathroom/bedroom/kitchen remodels.  

I spent 8 days on my hands and knees scrubbing cove base with a toothbrush and caked-on soap scum from the tub, scrubbing and painting walls, and taking 11 passes to the kitchen floor with a mop to strip/seal/polish it etc. to deliver a pristine perfect unit to these people.  

Be explicit in the lease; clogged toilets, broken windows, holes in the walls, etc. 

All of my places have color. 

Most of the mobile home parks that have 6-7 units are beat up and run down. 3 of mine are newer with all new appliances, hvac, floors, walls, roof, ect.

Scariest;  first ACCEPTED offer, signing all that paperwork going into escrow (after reading and understanding EXACTLY what it all means), Second scariest; @ 2 weeks into rehab (doing most of it myself), looking through where walls and floors had been, wondering what I had gotten myself into.Funniest with a Halloween theme - one fine early Sunday evening I get a call; "The stove is possessed" my tenants announces.Turns out the stove had spontaneously gone into clean mode.

-Opening up a wall in the kitchen to turn a pantry into a nook for the fridge.

Then after my second devoice I went to work for a local large management company doing rehabs making some one else money I don’t do every thing flooring is best left to guys that know what their doing and not typically a one man job, roofing I can do it but again not really a one man job, didn’t do drywall for a long time either because need to know what your doing and I didn’t found a guy that wanted to learn about plumbing when I was working for a management co in Minnesota we work projects together to exchange skills now I can make a hole in a wall look like it was never there or sheet rock a whole house.

I'm hoping to add an outlet/box to wall and move the switch to the box, ultimately mimicking the basement-HVAC setup.

Judging by the photo, you have a one-way slab spanning from the two bearing walls.
