There are a lot of people out there who don't like painted brick. 

They had charged the original owner $3,000 to rip out the original and replace the whole tub, surround and plumbing.I had sworn to myself that if I redid others it would be with steel tubs from hereon in.

Realtor told her not to waste her time listing it unless she put in new carpet and painted.

The walls were kind of torn up and all the pipes were exposed in the basement due to water leak = ceiling fall down.Didnt think much of it, there was nothing in there (so i thought), until the next day i came back and ALL THE COPPER PIPES WERE RIPPED OUT.it was kind of a bad/turning better neighborhood, and i guess you can get some crack for selling all that copper...

Another way to find a potential buyer is to go to your local REIA club and market it there.Also try to ask local managers etc at home depot, paint companies, etc. where rehabbers do business.
