Doug, great question, most people overestimate “big renovations” and underestimate the subtle things that make a buyer emotionally commit.Here are the finishing touches that consistently move my flips faster and for stronger offers:1.

I know those are a lot of details, but I'd greatly appreciate recommendations for RIAs with whom you've personally had good experiences with!

.: I get colleague request from time to time and one of the first things I do is look at a person‘s profile.

Sometimes you get lucky and just need cleaning / touch up.

hello! I’m a general contractor/handyman in Northeast OH. I have been in business for 3 years now, all residential, and working for homeowners. I’d like to transition to working for investors / property management com...

I’d start by reaching out to local portfolio lenders (credit unions are great for this) or a broker (me) who does investor loans – they usually have products designed exactly for this situation and do a 2nd position that'll allow you to tap into the equity without touching your 1st. 

This depends on each persons situation - but for us we have it spread in multiple different liquidity paths (markets, CD's etc) with some liquid and some illiquid but we also have a LOC that we do not touch and use as a "in case of emergency break glass" type of situation - and if we have to use it then we will liquidate one of our accounts to pay it down.

I give each house a cap on utility usage, anything over I split amongst tenants, I enforce rules, WiFi in charge $25 per person.  

I’ve been seeing hosts go in VERY different directions with minimum stays:Some swear by 30 days, others don’t touch anything under 45 or 60.Personally, I’ve experimented with different lengths depending on the season and guest type.

@Marysue Connelly, if you want your home to be sold at a good price, I recommend touching it up to make it presentable online and in person.
