Go find out for yourself.Unlike old cars that need restoration and antique furniture that needs repairs, houses often come with big issues concerning title ownership and claims affecting their equity.Also, possession issues crop up in addition to hidden damages and unhealthy systems.Once you study, you'll begin to see that a bargain may--or may not-- be a bargain.

Hopefully, her seller isn't doing what sellers usually do when they think their home is sold, like move furniture to storage, clean the place out getting ready for settlement.

Staging about $2500 for the furniture and labor.BTW This investor found me on Bigger Pockets and we have been hitting hard ever since. =)Some before and after photos.

I will schedule appointments back to back within that 2 hours.. if I have the chance to do that.I let people I'm showing know current tenants are still there and sometimes it's nice because furniture still there gives them idea of how things will fit. 

It was made in the 40s and looks like nothing was ever changed; not even the furniture.

Once the house was lightly staged with furniture, we put air fresheners throughout the house and listed it on the market.

I was lucky because I got all the furniture on the cheap.

Most of the furniture belonged to a local agency.

My realtor would have a much better MLS ad to display the listing without having to put actual furniture in the place to stage it, and much sooner.It looks like people are doing 'virtual staging' already, but we would do it before and while we remodel the place.

You can have a policy of no trash outside, no lawn furniture, etc.Cats peeing outside sounds better than inside.
