America's Ugliest Homes

http://bit.ly/pDcDeW


One of our favorite things to do is to help investors renovate ugly homes and turn them into great havens for renters (or for themselves!) or flip them for a profit.  HomeVestors, which buys beat-up homes, fixes them up and resells them, is looking for the nation's ugliest home. Check out the link to see the 6 candidates for them on CNNMoney.com. 



We have never seen a kitchen in this level of squalor, but we've seen some pretty interesting things.  After wading through left-over beverages and appetizers in a gorgeous downtown Austin condo after New Year's Eve, to tiptoeing around holes in floorboards in East Austin rehabs, to counting dead frogs in an abandoned swimming pool, nothing surprises us anymore.  And there's nothing more fun than finding one of these abandoned and forsaken houses and envisioning it renovated to a new level of splendor. 



If you are looking for a a great deal on a home in Austin for yourself or a turnkey investment property (either a hold and cashflow model, or a flipping model), we can help you find both the "ugly homes" in need of TLC as well as gorgeous move-in ready homes that just happen to be priced at a ridiculously low percentage of their tax values.  Our recommended subcontractors will fix them up and our property management partner will take care of the hassles of renting them out if you're not ready to move straight in yourself.
