Details around amenities and upgrades like "updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances" can add tangible value to your listing.

We were being stood up by prospects which wasted time so we began showing once a week with 10 minute time slots.

A steel insulated door should be rated at 30 or 45 minutes, look for a tag on the hinge side of the door for a rating, it may already be fire rated.The fireproofing, is that a common wall between the garage and living space?

Out of pure principal alone, I would let them know where the door is at, and ask that they not let it hit them in the *** on the way out.Even if you give them a brand new stainless steel commercial stove - the relationship with this tenant is already ruined, they don't sound very profitable, and, now they think they're the boss!

You're talking steel beams, lots of concrete at basement level, high quality windows, high end finishes, fancy back yard, etc, which I doubt you can do for $200 psf. 2 - $20k in rental revenues, even short term, is precarious IMO.

The house was a gut rehab and is unfurnished with brand new everything, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, etc.

@Stacey Steele This may very well be the case, although personally I don't think I would guarantee the sale within 30 days, unless she has a lot buyer clients ready to go.

It's really such a benefit to have someone of your knowledge and experience.I also wanted to comment on the point that I went through 2 catastrophes in the NYC Real Estate Market.2001 - the destruction of World Trade Centers.2007 - 2008 - The Meltdown of the Financial Centers where Ground Zero was Wall Street.These 2 catastrophes did not cause much if any slow down in the wealth building potential of NYC Real Estate for me despite owning several multi-family investments.There are various hedges that a big Metropolis like NYC offers.Detroit, being a one Industry Town (Automotive), follows the same risks that Billy Joel's "Allentown" lyrics speak about when the Steel company closed down.NYC has so many Industries, even when one, such as the Financial Crisis causes a Great Recession, even that did not lay waste the Real Estate that was bought correctly (in otherwords, soundly leveraged with reasonable loan terms and equity cushion and in good locations to protect against loss of rents, etc.)In 2005, I started a program to teach Real Estate because I felt that the Market was getting way over heated when I saw very sophisticated leverage being used by very non-sophisticated people who would not otherwise have qualified for their loans.
