I have the bathrooms dressed with primary color towels, and a few candles to light in the fireplace, but that's it.

I love working with and helping people and I fancy myself a great researcher, which is how I found BiggerPockets.

Quote from @Jacob Chance Cunningham: I know a lot of younger families make the mistake of upgrading to a big, fancy house they don't need.

Dig in and figure out what terms work for you that will tickle the sellers fancy, and then offer modifications of the other factors that may be less important (like interest rate, amortization, duration of Interest Only portion, balloon term, etc).As an example, if a seller wants $500k for a home and I can offer him $500k or $510k with seller carry on a 3-year I/O loan that balloons then, then what the seller sees here is primarily "I get my price and I'll have all the money within 3 years." 

Nothing fancy, but everything updated and nice looking.
