But my flip was priced right and also listed in the spring which is ideal.Now for the house itself - the buyers in Murray Hill who are paying the most are looking for very specific things - basically a charming unique historic home for what is a bargain price compared to nearby Riverside/Avondale neighborhood.

We had a two bidding wars that wound up leading to the potential buyers asking for ridiculous contingencies, and the third time was charm.

Purchase price: $520,000 Cash invested: $200,000 Sale price: $1,149,999 The property is in the historic district of Pasadena its a Spanish style home with lots of charm and it has a really good size lot.

Works like a charm.

I also recommend that you attend the monthly BP meetup in Tokyo, hosted by the charming and accomplished @Matthew Pinkston. 

Worked like a charm for me ;)

The home has been rebuilt from the brick walls out, while retaining the historic charm.

It is full of charm and character with open concept, original hardwood floors and high ceilings, but also with lots of modern finishings.

Looking for someone who has clean record, good credit or at least stable employment who is mature would be better judge of character than just looking for a female who can charm you at the showing of the property.
