hi gys -i've closed on a foreclosed property.we're now getting ready to sell it.the unit is vacant. its a high grade quality condominium - but has no light fixtures from the builder in living room and bedrooms -that is typical in these developments.something obvious that i did not realized until now was that most lighting in occupied units come from floor lamps and custom fixtures installed by owners/ tenants - all of which is now gone since they moved out.so now i feel that even if we put the best quality floors and paint in this unit - it wont show half as good as a staged house that may not even have quality materials.so the question - how do investors, house flippers and you guys typically do the showings?

For an A-Grade area I would use tile & provide them the sink with the storage.

But I now run food grade anti freeze through the lines as I added 2.5 baths & a 23x12 kitchen all with extensive Pex plumbing.

I would never put a bedroom in the basement after this experience unless I knew the grade of the land slopped down ensuring the basement wouldn't flood.  

It still costs more than big box contractor grade paint. 

I have connections to the pharmacy school and the football team.

I will say that it is motivating to see a fellow BP'er complete a project, but without numbers it feels like we just took a test and never got graded.

The company does have very positive grade with the BBB but if you go on BBB website you will also see how many unhappy customers they have. 

I was going to simply get the kitchen cabinets from Ikea since that high-gloss white seems to be something they do well, but anyone have a recommendation as to another place that might have mid-grade, reasonably priced, high gloss white kitchen cabs?   

You can get $600-$700 (Sometimes $800 on the streets where the college kids want to live) per bedroom in Burlington for pretty small rooms and low grade finishes.
