It will seal the smell in and leave the place smelling fresh.8.

Granted, it's been probably 15+ years since I did an installment sale, so I'm definitely not very fresh on this. 

I know most folks recommend start fresh with your own tenant but if the tenant has a good record this would minimize vacancy.

New siding, new floors, a busted pipe, water damage and insurance, fresh paint, landscaping, light fixtures, blinds... you name it, it's been done.

I think it'd be worth trying FSBO for a couple of months since you'll prob get your best offer when it's "fresh".If it doesn't work, take it off the market for a month, then hire someone to re-list it so it'll look relatively "fresh".However, to get access to the listing services, you may need to go to a place like Redfin (not an good/bad endorsement of them). 

Hi, My name is Te'Juan Bunch, freshly starting real estate to see better days.

I just need a fresh perspective on one project to rethink the layout.

Would love to get second look over my assumptions, challenge/reveal any flaws in my current plan, and listen to any suggestions to successfully house hack in Austin, TX.Main Goal: House hack to live for free, cash-flow ~$150-200, have the ability to cash flow some after I plan to move out in a few years.My situation: Newbie and aspiring real estate investor looking to purchase my first deal at the end of 2020 (Ideally November/December).

In the sense of luck, us investors can always seek ways of coming out on top; but only does the magnification of luck can be enhanced by magnification of knowledge, that is why I am here.My name Tristan Osborne, I am a fresh 21 years old with a work ethic unmatched by anyone my own age.

Or would it be best to just return the full deposit and start fresh.
