I'm curious if anyone has used Home Depot to source a contractor to do the work needed to get the property up to par to rent?

And @Adam McQuiston 2010-2017 saw an average of 152 new Austin residents per day (roughly 55,000 per year averaged).  2019 growth projections were on par to hit 167 new residents per day (roughly 61,000 per year).  

We are also currently bringing our owned 22 year property up to par to rent, as our current fixed rate mortgage payments are quite low compared to the going rent in our area.
