If I were to guess, I would think that the new administration will bring positive change to the housing sector by removing regulations that impede builders, and affect building material costs. 

Another property assessment included another home that had been demoed/removed before we bought the property. 

I know this seems low, but the way I see it, this is how much the buyer would potentially walk away with if they posted it on the market and minus all the fees and concessions so I am getting them to that number with none of the hassle and removing the issue of a looming foreclosure.

Remove "Cash-flow" from the vocabulary. 

They recently split up and the wife is asking to be removed from the lease agreement.

I would remove the parts that don't pertain so you don't have to bother with checking boxes or lining through clauses that don't apply.

I actually ended up doing a 1st position HELOC and removing the mortgage all together.

However, you can make changes as long as all parties agree.If the tenant agrees to removing certain clauses, or starting with a new lease, then you can move forward.

Basic staging with an agent usually means they give you insight into how you should:Declutter and depersonalize by removing photos and personal itemsArrange your furniture to improve the room’s flow and make it feel biggerAdd plants, move art, or re-arrange other accessoriesFull-service staging is another option if your house needs more hands-on attention.

You can also leave out some bulk hotel toothbrush/toothpastes, make up removers, earplugs, sleeping masks, etc. if you really want to step up a "In Case You Forgot" basket.You can keep a closet with extra of things that has a lock on it and if someone is irrate because they don't have enough pods, you can at least have a back up solution for them if you choose too.
