I would like to get renters in asap since rents seem to get lower starting sept and then i'll have to wait till summer. the townhome does require cosmetics improvement - carpet replacement, paint on walls, getting a few new appliances but nothing structural.I can either show the property as-is and tell would be renters we'll get everything fixed or fix it up and then show it to a smaller section of renters (since some may have booked somewhere else).

My sincere thanks to all the generous people who answered my request for information!

therefore the always be closing, film flam , glad handing, somewhat dishonest, RE agent can usually do a lot better than the sincere and earnest agent given their average clientele .

As I said previously, the numbers would've never made sense to purchase this property in 2005, at the absolute worst time in the market, since rents did not support the purchase price.

Sincerely Deurward

Please help.My wife and I need sincere, honest, hard-truth advice from a real RE expert.
