Enhance Your Entrance You only have one chance to make a first impression, which is why one of the most important tips to selling your home fast is to have curb appeal.

PLUS a fully fin basement w/separate front entrance, BR & 2nd kitchen--ideal for in-law suite or rental.

they also offer 100% access to their private money lenders thus allowing for a sparked entrance.  

The lender was back to us in four hours (before their submission deadline), which tells me we were too high and could have gone in 4K less and still got the property.After walking the property this morning, it needs a lot of work but less than I was anticipating:1) Electrical: Entrance to both units needs to be separated and the "half story" in the upper unit still has active knob-and-tube.  

WE just do a big one at the entrance with a map on it and then small placards with lot number.

I enjoyed watching their jaws drop as they pulled in through the pillared front entrance gate & the kids all piling out exclaiming that we live in a mansion!

The entrance fee and dues amount to just under $1000 for 2016. what do I benefit from this and is this the best way to start out? 

What would you say the typical entrance cost for a an A-class neighborhood is using a TK.

Although it has a crawlspace, the entrance was too small to get in to see how the "seem" looks like from the bottom.
