Again, consideration, celebrities have been known to accept "dates", for dinner for example, with the highest bidder at a fund raising event for some worthy cause.

low mortgage arrears and default rates;size of {most} markets across the country;culture of turning to realtors to sell houses (this is slowly changing a little);amount of work involved in finding and reaching {receptive} property owners due to privacy laws; To list a few reasons ... 

@Drew Dowdell I think what you're referring to is called cultured marble, at least it is in my area.

@Jay HinrichsWell Clayton Morris says wholesaling houses with no money down is good ..so I’m going to do it because he’s a celebrity !

I have always been fond of architecture and character of buildings and homes of every culture and time period. 

Real estate attracts a different culture of people / professionals all together.

Take your parents out to a steak dinner and celebrate - you’ve earned it!

But the only real low hanging fruit besides paint, lighting and wall fixtures is the sink, I hate those "cultured marble" ones.

Your budget figure was a bit underestimated to properly correct the issue, and create the critically important curb appeal currently absent.It's not a bad looking house, but the lack of any celebration of the entry is the only serious architectural liability, which can be easily and inexpensively corrected.Here are a few pics to help you visualize:https://pin.it/ukmjsped4biaurhttps://pin.it/rrguyitwkvtqa7https://pin.it/jzcdv2vrt6wtypCheers!

Perhaps this is a cultural difference, but it seems I have my arm in a mangle and I'm not even sure its where I want to be washing my clothes :/.And I am having real trouble believing a man would be asked to supply a personal reference from his wife.
