You're really stepping on all the guru strategies here, can't be making stuff up, no razzle dazzle, no smoke, no mirrors, you trying to put gurus out of business?

Jay, in 2007 they were giving loans to anyone who could fog a mirror, and giving loans at or above 100% financing, and fudging appraisals, and on and on.

Its not uncommon for lenders to require 3months of interest payments in the bank, so expect the others to look for some liquidity.Also, getting pre approved with some hard money lenders requires you to fog a mirror. 

My other thoughts mirror what several have already said, your pics need work.

I can't get one right now, but only because I play smoke and mirrors with my taxes.

Basically, everything is done except for refinishing the hardwood floors, installing light fixtures, bathroom accessories (mirrors, towel bars, etc) and we are still waiting on the quartz counter tops for the kitchens and bathrooms to be delivered.  

Blue paint mirrored an open sky she said.

Hopefully, the bath tub is in good shape and that will definitely help If you are going to keep the tiles and paint (which is the only way I think you can stay in that 1500 budget) I would get a new counter top/sink/light fixtures, updated mirror/faucet, remove the shade.

Use the biggest mirror you can.  

I would take down all the mirrors and paint the wall.
