Sounds like your maybe your being too picky on finding your apartment deals by your description .

I see laundry listed as a room, but not under appliances or the listing remarks/description.

Are there any geographical areas or strategies that anyone would suggest? 

The description says that the basement has areas which need mortar repairs, a leak in the chimney, and signs of moisture in the first floor bedroom, but you've allocated $0 for an initial repair investment. 

How are we supposed to know what the best decision is with only a rudimentary description?

I will write a short description of the house below to give you an idea of what were working with.Carpet - definitely needs to be replace.Kitchen - Plain White Formica counters.

This is exactly why I get snippy with people who expect members here to give expert opinions based on simple descriptions.

Most of my question is in the description.

I've been trying to locate a guide of sorts on creating an effective marketing description for a property. 

As I mentioned in the description above, we secured our buyer within our option period or inspection period, as what wholesalers like to call it.
