Well, I've been lurking here sporadically, and with the new year I said I would actually make my presence known, so here I am!

I'm a soon-to-be college graduate from FSU with degrees in both Creative Writing and Cla...

It is a temporary resting place for them to stay so of course many are not going to care about making it sparkle and fixing issues.They look at you the "rich evil landlord" as getting enough money from them already so they justify living like animals in their minds.I have seen before broken windows where they took cheap plexi glass and put silicone to keep it in place.

If it sparkles like gold, he's going to stick some of those properties into his grid.Keep in mind they try to choose properties that are similar in age, size, style, & build quality, that are as near as possible.

The big question is, why would experienced investors want to deal with a noob with a course and a sparkle in his/her eye...

or a rule of thumb on how much money needs to be injected into a home to bring an outdated home to sparkling brand new (this wouldn't include foundation or structural issues)?

If I get it sparkling clean quickly, attract a great pool, show it smoothly... 

If they are willing to wait 60-90 days and that is OK with them, then they should get an agent and get some local cleanup guys and handymen to get it sparkling and pretty.

We have rented several places, we didn't get any sparkling appliances.We didn't miss any "bad parts"; its just some people have very high standards of what they consider clean like wash an already washed plate or spoon before using and some others would just rinse their coffee cup before pouring in their evening cup.but then you should bring it up before you sign the lease.
