The TV is chattle (personal property) and won't affect the value of the home.That doesn't change the fact a lender might be less willing to take it in the shorts if the owner found money for a 70" plasma TV.

Does anyone ever watch this show (one of the many flipping shows TV - "Flip This House, Flip That House", etc. etc.)I LOVE this show.

I LOVE ME FREEDOM ...You know the saying " 1 bad apple and alll that ....."

You have to inventory everything at movein/out, deal with stained table tops and upholstery, and repair/replacement when a tv or other appliance dies during a rental term.Vacation rentals OTOH, must have everything...linens, flatware, small appliances, probably cable and phone, etc. etc. but in theory you get a substantially higher rate for that type of unit.

By looking at the tv show it seem like most of the successfull flips have owners who spend a lot of time in the house making sure everything is going as it should be.

Yet, I recognize the potential.I visit nightly and have downloaded the Apple widget as well.

If you are running ads on late night TV then be prepared to have 'operators standings by' when you run the ads.Test, test, test.

Who has done this and had an outcome similar to the guy on tv late at night with the name of the Miami Dolphins Quarterback?
