Fresh Updated Data - Not old dated data like our competitors.

Fresh off of a rehab of my own home, I am looking make an investment but I am unsure of how to aproach the situation.

Like a good investor, I am prepared to hold the house for the Congressionally approved 5 years and live in the house the last two years to receive favorable tax treatment should all of the above fail --praying all the while for a decent tenant who could actually take care of a freshly rehabbed house AND change filters AND cut the grass.

This place is a breath of fresh air in the self-serving, screw or be screwed storm of this industry.

The only visible signs of up-dating are new carpet and freshly painted interior, nothing else has been done.

Sally wasn't asking what to do but instead was responding to the OP which I find somewhat embarrassing when I realize I just revived a thread from 3 years ago and responded as if it was a fresh topic.

If you are selling a house in an area that sells for $100 a square foot for an average house that needs some updating and you put yours on the market all freshly rehabbed for $90 a foot, which one do you think people will buy?
