Can you imagine going into a gas station with a sign out front saying gas was $2.59 a gallon, and when you went to pump the gas you first had to pay a $15.00 fee for using their pump, an $8.00 "lot fee" for parking you car in front of their pumps on their property, a $17.00 "roof" fee because there is an awning over the pumps, and a  $14.00 "snack bar" fee to cover the fact that should you feel the need for a cool refreshing beverage, you have the option of walking in and purchasing an Icee for $1.99?

This is the typical Japanese mindset for properties in Japan.Tokyo which is where I live is a different ballgame. 

If the house is fine and just needs a refresh, you have much more options for financing the repairs  than if its condemned etc.

Partnerships are easy to get into, not always so easy to get out of.I occasionally listen to a podcast done by an attorney and accountant named Refresh Your Wealth that has covered partnerships a number of times, most recently this past April in Business Partnerships – Do's & Don'ts so it might be worth a listen.In any case, congratulations on working on your first investment property, and be sure to say hello if you come to the next RIREIG meeting!

Refresh the listing and attempt to draw more attention.

HelloI have a number of Japanese clients that are looking for financing to purchase rental properties.

Is it just a cleanup, and refresh to get a bit more rent? 

What a refreshing first day on Bigger Pockets, I'm used to online video games where most online communities are toxic.

That should re-fresh your listing and bring in new buyers or buyers that glossed over it in the first place.

Quite refreshing to see it was for Laredo/McAllen.I live in the RGV as well and have two SFR rentals at the moment.
