No, the real estate market is an imperfect market.

My imperfect approach: 1.

Imperfect ACTION, is better than Perfect INACTION.  

The owner said the cracks were because he didn't lay underlayment because he thought the subfloor would be fine, but the imperfections in the subfloor caused the tile to crack.

Now that I know I won't be living here and won't have to deal with any mistakes or imperfections staring me in the sould every single day, that's made it a bit easier to get things done.I'm having a hard time with the balance of making it nice enough to attract high quality renters vs. wasting too much money on anything.I really just need to get it to "showable" condition, whatever that may be.

At the end of the day, what you make or don’t make will all depend on you and your taking massive imperfect action because no one “really” cares about your success.

Even if the market slows & i have to let him sit in a home when its done having realtors come show the home until it sellsThats IF i had the propertiesAnd IF i had a Pro like me.The last 10 years it is exactly what i have done in trade for rent lol with my girlfriend on 2 homes & for a longtime friends moms home recently.What ya'll are saying is you are worried about The work not getting doneThe work being subparAnd here is what i say about that ,,,, If i am flipping a home for you there would be a contract with a timeline included would be the quality workmanship you would find in a model home & trust me i worked for 5 new home  builders in Dfw as a construction manager i do know the same flaws & imperfections on the models  exist so that folks dont crazy on textures or gaps at the top of crown molding on a tray ceiling,,, lol Right is right & quality work is satisfying the customer but a 3rd.party can come see the work & say yea or ney. 

And people are imperfect. 

And here’s one of the bigger things to take to heart; if you use flat paint on ceilings it will hide a lot and I’m now a fan of using flat on the walls when I can, if there’s imperfections.
