I want to pluck my own eyes out when a client buys a $1 million dollar Colorado cabin, spends $40k on furniture, and then throws up the listing with poorly lit cell-phone photos.

Your decision may also depend on whether you have children who are willing to manage the property after you're gone.

If the property does not close until spring of '25 do the hours spent furniture shopping in January still count?

But the gas and water need to stay in our name as landlords (per the water and gas companies), and we will bill those amounts back to the tenants.We have 1 single man who has 1 child who will live with him 1/2 time in the upper level, and we have 1 single woman who has 3 children who will live with her 1/2 time in the lower level.

This woman ain't gonna pay and has no children.

I'm about to put an offer on a duplex southeast of Childrens Hospital, sort of in/near 'southern orchards'. 

So in good conscience knowing children lived on the third floor and if they died in a fire I would always feel responsible I sold the building.

- How do I lower the expectations of the owners children (they are adults) after the previous agent listed it at Zillow's full estimated price - despite the fact that nothing has been done to the house since their father/the widows husband died some years back.

It was already a MTR, listed on Furnished Finder, so we bought the furniture and furnishings too.

Secondly, the children switched to Home Schooling (online education) much earlier - before the pandemic started.
