Main points we focused on for the flip were: kitchen- matching appliances and clean backsplash with quartz countertopsBathrooms: we tiled bath and shower but actually used same tile and same vanities/lighting so seems that different styles aren't major-original wood floors but first time with contractor that could've done better refinish but think it was major selling point for main floor (used same wood style alternative flooring for kitchen and both baths) then new carpet for basement and spent more for the padding than carpet look/quality, makes huge difference.We used same grey paint color for all walls with clean white trim and baseboard so think those were huge points for immediate offers!

I think one of the biggest sayings that override most things is:It's not what you make; it's what you keep.I don't care if you're in the rat race (btw if we didn't have enough people in the rat race, who would be writing programs to keep your money safe at the bank, or checking the brakes on your car, or waiting on you at nice restaurants?)

I need to be careful with the details on this one, as I signed a C/A so as such I will ONLY be posting info presented on the publicly available flyer.Details are:City: Flint, MI (it is on Detroit water, not the hosed up Flint system)Water/Sewer are municipalPads: 87 (weird layout of existing homes make the usable pad rate only 85)Park owned homes: 85 (40 or so vacant--it seems this has improved since last year, maybe)Average Lot Rent: $285/monthRoads: AsphaltAsking Price: $525k2013-2015 reported income (per flyer): $212k, $190k, $206kNotwithstanding the obvious math discrepancies of 45*285*12 = $154k (far off the reported income), the really interesting part is the reported expenses for those years at $171k (81%), $166k (87%), and $149k (72%), respectively.So it is obvious that the management leaves a lot to be desired if the actual operating expenses could be cut down to the 30-40% nominal.
