I spent a month rehabbing this property, and rented it in 7 minutes

I remodeled this 1940s cottage almost completely. New paint everywhere, new light fixtures, two new bathrooms (new vanities, lights, fixtures minus the toilets), a totally new kitchen (new sink, countertop, backsplash, appliances, new front door, new GFCI outlets in every room, new supply plumbing throughout (a few new drain lines as well) and a new ceiling in the master bathroom.

I hired out the repipe, the backsplash, and the painting, and did the rest (and fifty small things I didn't mention) myself. 

I've been working ten hour days since the middle of December, minus three days off for Christmas and a week in Mexico over New Years. So, about 20-25 days of my life on this rehab. 

I priced it aggressively, and I've gotten multiple applications at the full price before I've even posted the listing on craigslist/postlets/facebook. I'm really hoping the first one checks out, since it's a single person with a nice job.
