Last week, she called saying that the kitchen flooring has holes in it and she tried to put tape on it but now shes dealing with a pest situation and they are going in those holes.

We've also done all the maintenance and repairs all these years, we put new linoleum in the kitchen, painted the interior, built a new fence/gate, stained all cabinets, much more all without reimbursement as the owner is a tightwad and had never wanted to pay for upgrades.

The property is listed for $259,900 and needs new floors and updating to the kitchen and bathrooms.

We added value by re-doing the whole house, installed vinyl floorings, rebuilt 2 and a half bathrooms, re-painted the whole house, replaced all the hardware in the house, installed new lighting, ceiling fans, re-painted the kitchen, and completely remodeled the upstairs.

I put in a brand new side by side stainless steel refer into the new kitchen.

(They paid a handyman $150 to put the weight back on the kitchen sink faucet line!

New kitchen, bathrooms, paint.

I've heard from several people who thought they had an owner finance agreement signed at the kitchen table, assumed they were paying down equity only to have the house sold right out from under them.Ben,  How common is this that a seller is willing to give up their deed upfront in exchange for seller financing.  

We put in around $30,000 to replace the roof, floors, paint and kitchen.
