I am always shocked by the abysmal quality of many real estate photos and the unsanitary conditions of some the homes depicted.A staged property will delight buyers from the very first showing.

So I can not break out the price as its jumbled into the complete remodel...but that apartment we called smoker delight the smell was horrid! 

My property managers have managed my properties for almost 10 years, and to my delight.  

If a person is say a slumlord who delights in breaking every law available until forced to comply, well than that person should make it a top priority right after therapy, although if your like most landlords looking to make a reasonable profit operating a legal legitimate operation than it is the rare oddball incident we are talking about, and for that insurance is a key piece not building a maze of entities.Myself I operate a s-corp as a parent company under which my other companies are held as subsidiary companies, all formed as LLC's.

We are interested in the same area - I walked Pigtown and Ridgley's Delight yesterday.

We've been using the following Delta showerheads which are all 1.5gpm flows - the first comes both standalone and as part of a complete bath/shower kit - we've installed eight new tub/showers using this kit in the past two years and the tenants are all delighted by the performance ... and surprised when they find out its 1gpm less than a traditional showerhead.http://www.deltafaucet.ca/bath/details/rp54752.htm...http://www.deltafaucet.ca/bath/details/t14438-h2o....http://www.deltafaucet.ca/bath/details/52637-15-pk...http://www.deltafaucet.ca/bath/details/52638-15-pk...http://www.homedepot.com/p/Delta-1-Spray-1-5-gpm-W...

As long as my price works for them, they are delighted to do business.1 - Think with an abundance mentality.2- Find good deals, regardless of the source, and build a "book" of rehabbers who will buy them from you.Then, you won't have to worry about what other people are doing.

In my opinion, you shouldn't buy notes until you know exactly what you are doing.I switched to notes 2 years ago and I'm delighted that I did - its the most exciting opportunity in the finance space right now (again - in my opinion).

On the bright side, I have introduced them to BiggerPockets and I will also acquaint them with a wholesaler I just met (on BP) and who showed me some fantastic opportunities.I'd be delighted to hear your thoughts about Sheriff Tax Sales and your horror/success stories.

And if his broker is anything like me, may God save your soul if you try to F-him in this way because because I would delight in making an example of such a fool.
