The former tenants  could give keys to someone else and try to collect money saying they subleased the place.Check all the windows also and make sure locking mechanisms work and have not been rigged for re-entry. 

I think you're absolutely right, this isn't a cookie cutter decision.

The house is listed for $163,000, but it is a DR Horton cookie cutter style neighborhood with 5 other similarly priced houses for sale in the immediate neighborhood. 

The snap type of tile cutter works very well with this tile, so I don't have to break out the wet saw in the winter. :-)

Its a 2b2b, 1300sf, asking price $105k as is, FMV is about $111k, (there is another house two doors down for sale by owner asking $130k exact same cookie cutter house)needs about $9k in repairs. 

I know that the wholesale business is not "Cookie cutter" but I'm not sure how I would differentiate from my competition besides: 1.

They do an awesome job, and my experience was far less than awesome.But look at this new Square Hole Cutter from Genius IP!

Even moreso if its in a cookie cutter subdivision where you have a pretty good idea of the layout.But how in the world are you estimating whether its a good deal if you have absolutely no clue what the rehab might possibly be?

No, you want the basic, universal, cookie cutter floor plans, so there’s no emotional benefit for it.
