I made the mistake of showing the house before all repairs/painting were made.

I know that’s not a lot in Seattle, but it paints a picture for my buying power.

This great 2BR Condo in Briarwood has spacious BR's, fresh paint, covered patio with steps to pool, laundry and storage spaces are just a few steps from condo front door.

Hi All! I am new member from Sacramento, CA. I am hoping to find resources, guidance, chat with experience folks in this great world of real estate. I am looking to step into investing: wholesaling or flipping. Defini...

Step back and look at it with fresh eyes or maybe recruit some non-investor friends over to get some objective feedback.

I have found the training to be a simple and practical paint by numbers course that anyone dedicated can work through.

Although the concept isn't that hard:On the sell side, find the motivated sellers.On the buy side, provide a product people want.The execution is what matters.People want it easy: find a house on the MLS, paint it and sell it for HGTV profit. 

We painted the interior, added backsplash in kitchen, laminate floor in BR's, changed some light fixtures, and faucets.Contractor solved the surface water that plagued the foundation- added french drains, graded exterior, replaced the rotted gutter system, and new vapor barrier to crawl space.

The property is in pretty good shape - new carpets and paint.

So when I actually closed on the house I had already cleaned it out, the painting was almost complete, the heating system was thawed out, repaired and working, and the agreement was written up and presented to the neighbor.
