Ellie, 

Thank you. That's another good way of thinking about staging. 

Best,

Germaine, 

I will visit the website and I did a virtual stage. The poster and easels is a good idea I also may use my personal computer to have a web show at the open house. 

Thanks again.  

Ryan, 

Thanks for the tax write off reminder. The staging company does have that on their website.

Thank you everyone, there are mix opinions. 

Aaron K.. This is a flip and the price point is in the middle for my city & area. Thanks for reinforcement of what to consider. 

Bill B.. I have had the same thoughts about too much furniture or too little but I have to use my best judgement and the house is small. Thanks again I'll keep your opinion on the front burner. 

Karen O.. I used a app to stage in the listing pictures. When the clients tour the place there's no furniture. I may get a offer without the staging but who knows. 

Being that it's nearing the holidays, winter is near in New England , 955 sq. ft house but 3 bedrooms I feel that making the home cozy and visibly what can be done will push that one buyer. At open house the potential customers stayed on average 20 mins for a small house. The staging company that I'm considering. Fee: 1/2 now and 1/2 at closing and staged for 3 months. House my size should be less than a $1k. Waiting for a on site consultation. 

Thank you Michael. I'm still struggling if I should especially the cost factor. It's a sellers market but it only been one week on the market.

Hello everyone, 

I'm selling a flip that is empty. Has anyone had success or indifference in staging a empty house ? 

Thank you, 

Hi Kerry, 

Thank you for the personal insight it is greatly appreciated. I read that they used DSCR instead of DTI. I'm hoping to purchase based off of the DSCR and thru my LLC.

Thanks again.

Chris, thank you for the insight and food for thought. 

Hello all, 

I'm researching hard money companies to possibly use on my next investment. Has anyone used the following companies ? RCN Capital, Finance of America, or Viso Lending. There are many more out there and would like any input on those as well. My next project is buy and hold multifamily 3 units and up. Cash out refi and repeat. I will have $50k plus to invest once my flip is sold. 

Thank you Bigger Pocket community.

Hi Devin, 

Welcome to Bigger Pockets and RE investing. If you haven't already reach out to a trusted local RE agent or attend a local REIG it should be helpful. Good luck and much success.
