I think that’s a great first step to do some of the leg work on potential financing for buyers.

Remodeling is not a casual part time hobby.Wishing everyone good luck, keep your eyes and ears open for the scams.PS: I heard this aphorism once: If your in a sales presentation or sales meeting and you cant identify or see who the suckers are...Guess what, there sitting in your chair.

The only delay I have had is a chair from Serena and Lily.

Hopefully in writing....I believe you have a leg to stand on here...They cannot just double the price without your approval.As has been said, contact the PM and have a heart-to-heart talk.

Some Instagrammable indoor-outdoor carpet, chairs, and umbrellas, and you can take it up a notch for less money.  

@Jason Wray Thank you very much for this response ..I’ve never sold one of my rentals before feels like I’m cutting off a leg and paying close to 100k for cap gains is really starting to eat at me 😵‍💫Any chance you would be so kind as to send me a link to something in the ballpark of what you’re suggesting this way I can get an idea of area and what this type of property could look like!

With your maintenance and construction background, you'll definitely have a leg up in creating value, whether you go with a smaller home or a multi-unit property.If you're exploring seller financing and deal structuring, connecting with experienced investors here in Chicago will be a game changer.

(and I would definitely support paying the $149 for listing on FF)Beyond FF, Airbnb and ALE, it's going to take time and leg work, and which platform will depend on your market.

My husband is a contractor which gives us a leg up in flipping, but we are also curious about diversifying and buying rentals.

(Yes it still happens, but it is a lease violation, and we have a solid leg to stand on should we need to pursue eviction or collections later.)
