It's oftentimes the small details that get overlooked - light switches, lighting, trims, closet doors, and if applicable fireplace mantel...Also don't forget about picking a harmonious color palette!

Plus, it’s a low-doc, asset-based loan, so no income verification or tax returns needed.

Even if it does, I'm stuck with the asking price being so low at 155k.

I recently had a landlord at a workshop who owned and managed a portfolio of low end properties for over 30 years, he is basically broke and can't retire.

is it better to go with the low pile carpet since it's easier to clean? 

I am considering this because it is seller finance, low out of pocket and it would get me in a market that is expanding rapidly.

Unemployment historical low.

We've taken over from several other property managers, and the bar is pretty low in my opinion.

Do I buy as low as I can to afford mortgage with 0 down and use 300k for big bear or put a larger down on primary home.

The reason being is that usually the commission offered for tenants agent is low and tenants are usually unrepresented, unlike buyers when purchasing a property.
