Aggressive pricing is necessary to achieve this, so it's important to ensure the property is realistically priced in line with market standards, which often is not necessarily what you're hoping to sell for. 

@Brittney Yang surprisingly I have found that I can have glue down LVP installed by a local flooring company, we use Artisent Floors, https://artisentfloors.com/, for our local renovations and they are awesome and they can do it for less than what I can buy the product for at Lowes or HD even with my 10% military discount! 

My adu would be about 15-25k to install.

The key for me wasn't to invest in the 'best place' but to know a market so well that a deal jumps off the page when it appears.
