Because the dirty little secret is that people look at a furnished place online, see the "Staged" rooms or AI furniture and artwork and fall in love with what they see.

Scott, you nailed it, buyers make emotional decisions long before they analyze upgrades.For us, the “moment” usually comes from two things:1.

Hi everyone,I’m looking for some insight from other Cape Cod landlords based on what’s happened with my property over the last year.I recently bought a duplex in Dennis Port, about a five-minute walk from the beach.

Great to find nice used artwork at these places.Although do not ignore Goodwill for basic stuff like dishware, glassware, counter appliances, etc.....You'd be amazed at what people drop off there when they're moving in a hurry.

How would we accomplish building a long lasting legacy together?

Additionally, understanding the needs of your clients and providing exceptional service will help build long-lasting relationships and a stellar reputation in the industry.

When my clients are looking to wholesale and are struggling to find end buyers (Party C), I always tell them that their best resources will be Facebook Groups(which you mentioned), LinkedIn, and local REIAs.The key is to build and maintain long-lasting relationships with both avid rehabbers and renters, as they are both viable end buyers.

That way I have extra funds to deduct for damage and late fees for that last month of missed rent. 

In this situation, I actually know the company to a degree, and I know they have come under 3 very strong stress factors in the last year.
