For example, here's a short list of things we'll be looking to update while living in the unit:- Clogged upstairs bathroom drain-Need bathroom fan- Bathtub porcelain chipped- Broken balcony door- Broken kitchen window- Missing smoke detectors- Redo kitchen floors- Refinish living room floors- Paint in all rooms- Improve kitchen cabinetsWe don't have a specific $$ budget, but we're always looking to keep costs low while providing quality.

Let the chips fall where they may. 

Heck, if you approach it right, he might even be willing to chip in a couple bucks for it.

Thanks for your perspective.If you interview for a job and your resume is perfect and you have all the skills it does not mean the employer will hire you.Same thing here.I do not want to deal with the people that do not have basic decency and good manners.And I do not like tatted women with a chip on their shoulder.If their outside is messy just think what is hapenning in their mind.These people are trouble makers.I do judge a book by its cover.Period. 

@Chip Chronister is the man.

With our personal home (paid off) our two rentals (valued at about $350k for both) and this lump sump- we hope to cash in our chips and live overseas and I’m seeking strategies on the best route to do that.

Without a broker who specializes in your property type, you may be leaving a lot of chips on the table.  

Ask 10 people if a peanut butter cookie is better than a chocolate chip one and you'll probably get 8 different answers as we all have our own tastes for pastries similar as we all have our own strategies for real estate.
