What concerns me is that a large portion of the population speaks very little or no english.

English is my third language, I`m fluent in german, georgian, and speak a little bit of russian and french.

If you chose dark cabinets, countertops, etc, you'll need to use more lighting.If you kitchen had a southern exposure, I'd steer away from white cabinets unless your whole house is designed with distressed white accents, such as casual country, English cottage, etc.

Also while on the subject, is it illegal to require your tenants to be able to speak English clearly enough for me to communicate directly with them (and not a random family member not living there) in order for approval of tenancy?

They are typed in English and easy to understand.

Now, all those homes are becoming distressed in a way that aviation layoffs, university graduations (job moves) and more have made them more than plentiful.

If Google translation from English to Spanish is of similar quality to its translations from English to French {or French to English}, you are not doing yourself any real justice with the advertisement in Spanish.The idea of placing an advertisement in Spanish is a good one, but find someone you know who's mother tongue is Spanish or who is fluent and cabable writing in Spanish to help you pen the advertisement ... or at least clean-up Google's translation ;-)

So if (if being the biggest word in the English language) the listing agent submits all offers, the net to the seller & the terms will be the key factors in the decision made by the seller.

First of all, it's not "wannabie", it's "wannabe", as in "wanna be" or, in English, "want to be".
