Appreciation is just icing on the cake.

(FYI, this is their first year of tenancy.)We'd LIKE to place the home on the market (vacant, which is easier for agents to show/sell) sooner than August 1st (or so), in order to take advantage of the summer "buzz".My question for you, is how would YOU go about "breaking the ice" to them? 

Perhaps when you get there you can ask the organizers to introduce you to someone in your area to at least break the ice.

It is up to them to meet my timeline.The ice maker isn't working....they can work out the schedule with the appliance repair guy understanding they are responsible for any charges associated with missed appointments.

In other words the cream always rises to the top, brains and ability gets rewarded.In even further other words - taking all real estate investors as a whole their average return rate would be lower than some of the individuals that make up that whole.

I'm with the study and research the heck out before jumping inBut when I did....planned for the worst ;) everything good is icing on the cake.Steep learning curve.

The switch plate covers come down to repaint and if they're old or cream colored they don't go back up.

. :) Now that I've broken the ice, I plan on asking many questions (once I make sure the question hasn't already been answered in an older post).

Almost May and still ice on the lakes.

If the answer is no you need to walk away or reduce the price.You want to have if the rents increase and all this other positive stuff happening after you buy it as icing on the cake and NOT to make the purchase worthwhile and viable only if these events occur.
