Hi Mat, thanks for your feedback.

Never paint brick you dont need to, clean up bushes or remove near path, less maintenance, rake yard, colors work as is , just make sure in paint in good shape, maybe newer lighting say motion sensor, a nice kick plate to door would brighten up, and reduce wear, throw in some real cedar chips near door for cedar smell, house colors are fine and wont bring in more rent or faster, just make clean & inviting, put mat near door so stays clean for showings, and worry more about inside

We could commit like everyone else... and be living check to check or being strapped with that mortgage.   

I don’t know if she and her broker are just strapped for money and taking advantage of people they see as vulnerable or what.

Well, I wasn't going to talk about the gold bars strapped to the bathroom floor joists, but you twisted my arm...

For further context, I am getting married in August, so paying for that getting my student loans paid off is why I am strapped to save for the next couple of months.

Don't leave yourself strapped and vulnerable otherwise, you're good to go.

@Paula Matli Hi Paula,Your plywood floor sounds awesome and I have see many pics online now that you started a trend:).

My wedding is coming up , so I am little strapped as well.

Specifically, I had to seismic-strap the water heater and install a carbon monoxide detector.
