I remember a time when we had a nice condo in the suburbs with very nice berber carpet that had a stain near the entryway.

He is constantly parking his vehicle (and others) in the street and works on them all day which I'm pretty sure is illegal while blaring terrible music...

@Gaurav Mehta I’m not in San Jose or whenever @ken latchers is having such a hard time but where I am it’s easy as pie and I live nowhere near my properties.

Its been nearly 20 days and my realtor and I are still waiting on one to be available to make the quote happen.

I have never seen walls painted this thickly.The kitchen cabinets have also been painted so thick (so many times) that the doors were pinching and scraping the paint near the hinges.The entire place was done in either satin or semi-gloss kitchen/bath type paint.

We have leads coming in from there and would like to possibly team up with someone who lives near there.

Since you have lots of time now, spend it looking for distressed off market properties near you and making relationships with brokers.

I am not too keen at purchasing at the current market price as I believe its nearly topped out, however looking at bigger picture, I would be owning it at the half way mark between the bottom of what we bought at and the current market now.Condo was bought at 366, value is probably in the high 400s now, perhaps higher. 

A single offer at your asking price isn't nearly as convincing that the "market is willing to pay" as compared to 6 or 8 or 10 offers/interested parties.Definitely create a list of your upgrades along with the cost (assuming the cost is high enough to bridge the gap between the dated comps and your sale price) - photos don't really matter.
