One region near me requires it in their possession within 24 hours of bid acceptance (usually 2pm the next day... which means its hand delivered or next day air early a.m.).

Fresh paint and a nice red front door goes a long way.As far as the deck/patio, it obviously depends on the property, but It should help the property sell quickly which is worth money, but wont get you much of ROI.

Is there too much or too little air exchange in the home with outdoor air.

Most older buildings have 8' ceilings, and everyone likes higher ceilings now.Newer buildings on the other hand are designed with more modern amenities, wider halls and restrooms, energy efficient heating/air and windows, wired for high tech uses, etc., and usually have more parking.

@Rich Weese Are you expecting to be all in on your build cost for $37-41 per sq foot under air?

I have a question for you, if I may; I have a sister in the Air Force, she has wanted to invest in the past, and I know she'll be on board again after my first purchase.

Generally, seems like newer kitchens, lots of storage closets, and fresh paint are attractive for tenants.You generally want durable finishes wherever possible, depending on your climate and market.

And you do need venting, though you might get away with an AAV (air admittance valve.)

OK, let me just say I am not trying to start a debate about bandit signs, and many of you may say the biggest thing WRONG with them is that in most areas they violate local laws/ordinances Point well taken.But this is WHY those local ordinances exist >>> "investors" fresh out of the latest guru academy put these signs out with NO INTENTION of EVER picking them back up.

I read that Las Vegas has one of the highest number of foreclosures in the county but the banks aren't releasing any of them so kinda takes the air out of that balloon.
