Not a lot really.Any strategy that includes "hope for appreciation" should be discarded immediately.

Otherwise you are left with discarding all their junk and it can be costly.

I'm assuming he's busy creating the vaccine for Corona using the discarded cigarette butts and hypodermic needles of his tenants. :-)

Since I don't know your reason to NOT wanting to sell your condo, this idea should be discarded if you plan on moving back to the condo someday.  

I do understand the 3 options but in my mind I had already discarded the home loan option.I am just debating whether I should refinance and free up some cash and lock in a lower rate or refinance (with no money out) and after the refinance closes, apply for a HELOC.

They're practical, cost-effective and can either be discarded or repaired depending on the damage without much effort or expense.Having a uniform appearance is nice particularly if you're handy and/or self managing as you don't have to keep extra materials around for each property but rather a small inventory of items that can address a repair in any unit (i.e. an extra plank, a can of paint, a knob or handle, etc).I say find a hardware store you like best, sign up for whatever incentives they offer and build your list out from there.

The house is in awful condition and most likely a hazard, but the condition of many of the items seems to be OK (assuming the stench doesn't stick)...We are flipping the house and want to get started on the complete rehab ASAP, so we're trying to decide if we should just discard everything with the demo and get going, or look into hoarding services, estate liquidators, pickers, etc. 

I would recommend doing this before even beginning the plan above, which could be completely discarded should the property become vacant prior to listing.Hope this helps. 

And sooner or later, that list will be burned in your memory and you can discard the checklist.

If the wrong people are showing up you have some work to do on your system.A huge shift that transformed my bank account was learning these 3 marketing principles:1) Right Person2) Right Message3) Right TimeI am far from being a marketing expert, but I am learning quickly & constantly improving my skills.Once I became a serious student of marketing & discarded everything I thought I knew about real estate, things started to change for the better.
