You’ll find before, after, and progress photos here.

If you're in a very competitive market you may want to get the house staged (filled with furniture) for marketing purposes.If you must list it in such a way as to disclose the address (for example you list it with an agent as a rental) please spend the extra $15-20 bucks to install a simplisafe alarm system: this is an inexpensive alarm system that works over 3G cellular networks.

Keep me updated with your progress!

Here is a suggestion for real estate investors flippers using QuickBooks-You should have four main stages in QuickBooks as Class:- Leads- Rehab- Sold- Overhead expensesKeep track of each property expenses immaterial you buy or do not close the lead.As each property progresses in the stage, change the subclass of the property.

Thanks everyone, but the renovation part of this is 98% done, with still a little room for improvement... which is my downfall because I keep thinking of new ways to keep pouring money into this thing, and I gotta stop that.I've broken up my story because I have a thousand progress photos.So why don't I continue.....Ah, the photo is right side up.So that chair and the metal desk came with the house.

Class B/C properties in A/B areas respectively makes sense, or areas that are gentrifying and in the path of progress on there way to higher quality areas.  

I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on the progress and what I have learned through the ordeal. 

There are two times of cheap neighborhoods, the ones that are in the path of progress that will appreciate with time (Gentrify) and those that will just be cash cows and not increase in value. 

I was managing a property that had the same thing happen, and the HOA was on the ball; however, the bad part was that they whole time the construction was in progress they had to stick to the city permitting process.
