I am trying to analyze this deal...The property is now HUD owned, after selling in 02/2011 fr 168K.The asking price is 46K.4/3 - Only cosmetic changes need done like paint ( they painted the living room some awful highlighter green) and carpet looks worn.Gwinnett County , GA - LawrencevilleComps in the neighborhood: Recently sold: all less than .5 miles away in same subdivision4/3 sold Feb 2011 - $1354/3 sold May 2011 - $103K4/3 sold May 2011 - $118KRecently listed - less than 1 mile away - 4/3 - $118K4/3 -124.9K4/3 - $114KI was thinking of putting an offer in at $41K (90% of list) and hopefully leave enough room to wholesale to a buy and hold investor for 50K - Does that sound reasonable ?

I think bad staging can be worse than no staging at all (empty space).Bad staging can high light the negatives more so than an empty space where the buyer is having their own vision of what could be there.I agree with JScott that if you are priced aggressively based on recent sold's and not actives it should move quickly.
