@Jessica Johnston a $10k price drop does not do anything, perhaps it shows that your agent is not very good.Price strategy should be based on data and experience, we use a matrix to compare the specific performance of any given listing to a bench mark.Good news is, you got showings, so you are "in the market" and probably within 10% of you potential sales price.

We analyzed crime maps and compared to areas we knew locally to get a rough bench mark of the neighborhood.

i bought tile from floor & decor before for two renovations, got a fair deal there, depends on how set you are on the design i guess - i have decided to replace the carpet in both of the new projects with luxury vinyl instead, i think it looks almost the same but is a bit more 'every day life friendly' today. waterproof, no tiles that crack when you drop a pot or other heavy object, no grout lines that change color, easy to clean, lifetime warranty, floating installation etc.

Don’t bother - it won’t make a difference . tenants will do what they need to do regardless if you make the pot sweeter or not. 

Does this money come out of the private/hard money pot (i.e.) and if so at what percentage is typical for closing cost?
