Floors refinished and new paint.While it is tempting to sell the condo, hanging onto it will provide piece of mind in case things don't work out with my fiance & I need to move back into my condo.  

It seems they are putting in new flooring, painting, and cleaning the place up and reselling it.My best friend thinks that if we find a cheap home to purchase, rehab it, and then sell it to me for what it would appraise for, we both would win - we'd make around $20,000 and I would get a refinished home for the lowest amount possible.
