Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Renting, not flipping

The latest investment has turned to renting instead of flipping.  The best market for renting are smaller homes, so we look for a fixer upper (mostly cosmetic), and get a good price on the purchase.  Here's our latest before/after pics....

Before:













After....pressure washing, mowing, and landscape grooming can do wonders!

















Living room before....










After....added hard wood floor, new paint, etc.




















Master bedroom before...  Notice how the carpet below bubbles up.  It also had a pet urine and smoke stench.















After....new carpet, new paint, etc.


















Guest bathroom before...The bathroom had water damage in the lower bottom left corner.
















And after....mold removed, repainted, new flooring, removed cabinetry, and lots of cleaning.



And the backyard before....














And now after....
