oh, there are two items on this place that are not totally buttoned up, one is the carpet downstairs didn't turn out the best, but I don't want to put any more money into it, and the sprinkler valves need to be moved outside to be up to code.

hello BP'ers

I'm not going to get into the drama of what my wife and I are going through with this thing.

I am looking for honest feedback with how to deal with this, so here goes.

we have a house on the market right now we need to sell. The address is 3499 S. Bellaire St.

It is right on Hampden, which is very loud. We have a hard cash loan which is eating us alive.

We started at 925k, lowered it to 889,9k, now we are at 849k. The interest in this is way below what we anticipated.

what are your thoughts

thanks, any feedback is greatly appreciated

while I agree with everyone's points, and thanks again for your input, no one is answering the 50 dollar question....

are we negatively affecting sales activities after the the clean up is done by offering it before the clean up is done

thanks for everyone's input, greatly appreciated. while I agree from a buyer's perspective the house will look better after everything is cleaned up, does everyone think by putting it on the market before the clean up has finished I am putting it in a negative light that may affect sales even after the clean up is done ?

 make sense ?

We have a flip in Denver that we are about to put on the market. It is an older house from the 50’s and has asbestos. We have a certified crew to do the removal that was found in one room. We will not be able to have the work done for two weeks or so but the house is ready to be shown any day now.  We have permission to be in the rest of the house that is not closed off.

Here is the 50 dollar asbestos question: 

is it a good idea to show the house with one room sealed off with plastic ?

Our business partner thinks as long as each potential buyer is told ahead of time what the situation is, and they are okay with seeing the house as is, there should not be any problem. 

Our business partner also believes if we don’t sell the house in the two week time period before the asbestos abatement is completed, we have lost nothing and we can move forward with the sale of the home with the asbestos problem resolved.

Whaddya think ?

Hi Mike  Thank you for your comment. I usually buy them from the big box stores, too.  

Hi Nate  I'm glad to hear that:-)  Thank you

Hi Brian  I like using the box stores because of easy return if something get wrong/bad.  Thank you

I am shopping around bathroom vanity cabinets for the house I 'm going to flip.  There are many nice looking contemporary vanities in Houzz for sale.  But it is hard to buy them without seeing them  Also I 'm considering a nice vanity at IKEA.  Does anyone have good or bad experience buy vanity on line or IKEA?  Thank you
