My day job consists of being a Product Manager with a large technology company, focusing on helping other companies define their cloud computing strategies. 

The great majority of our community owner clients are using related finance companies as a tool to buy low occupancy communities and fill and modernize them thus making major changes in the values of the communities they acquire.I wonder how he intends to do it? 

Most cloud based technology service companies,  (i.e., Xero, Quickbooks, Freshbooks, TenantCloud, Cozy), and others will NOT release (export) your data and information to you without some type of restrictions. 

I have unlimited use of a professional, well managed office with beautiful conference rooms, high end technology,etc.

I have heard American Modern offers something along these lines. 

The roof, master shower, and carpets throughout need replaced, and although the property is structurally in good shape and the AC\HEAT is in good condition, the house has never been updated to today's modern look.I want to walk away with 40,000 in cash but I am afraid that after the projected closing costs of $13000 that include the realtors $9600 commission I wont get the $40,000 because it needs a roof, shower, and carpet.   

It's 3 years old and is a modern, kind of fancy place that we paid a high price per square foot to get into.

I actually had the iphone app installed for a few years but never used it much for the technology consulting.  

If they are all clean cosmetic rehabs that are fully modernized then you either have to rip it down and drywall everything or do something creative like the others have mentions in this thread.

The modern color today is a pale grey.
