This week’s transformation takes us to 9003 Chateau Forest Drive in Houston, TX 77088. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with 1,342 sq. ft. and a 2-car garage was originally built in 1970. When our team first saw it, the property looked tired, dirty, and rundown—far from the kind of home we want to provide to investors. But with the right rehab plan, a lot of hard work, and careful attention to detail, it’s now a modern, welcoming home that is ready to generate reliable income at $1,795/month in rent.
