It was about this time I listened to the BP Podcast with Grant Cardone and got fired up.In April my wife and I were looking at furniture on craigslist one evening and my wife fell asleep.

Your house looks great and you have done a top jobThe bedrooms are small so anyone that wants a really large bedroom will rule it out.If you stage the bedrooms with smaller furniture, and mirrors it will look larger and give people an idea of how they can furnish it.  

I noticed the moving boxes and furniture (couch) smelled really bad of cigarette smoke. 

Furniture wears and some things like couches need to be replaced every few years.

The owner currently provides a single bed and mattress, plus so rudimentary furniture.

- the home was definetly vacant, there was no furniture, no heat turned on and there were a few scattered items around the home, looks like someone left quickly. - the realtor said someone was living there, but i seriously doubt it.- we our interested in the home but it will definetly require some remodeling.- the realtor made us sign a letter stating if we purcshed this home, she would be the only realtor that we could go through before she would show us the place.Obviously i will need to have a professional inspection done.We are able to put down %20 on a home purchase and our max price range is about $340K. with the kitchen needing a FULL remodel and some bathrooms too if we paid the pre-forclosed price and done the remodel we would hit our budget limit.So after reading some healpfull hints on this site im still in doubt on how to proceed.do i hire an real estate attorney to check all everthing on the home or do i just go through the realtor for all paper work?

It might show better furniture verses if it was unfurnished when you first posted it.Get it listed ASAP and check comps in area for pricing, the 15 month lease is great idea,, @Matthew McGuirk          Say great lease terms be flexible.. 

The apt was empty except two grocery bags of belongings, a mattress on the floor, and broken furniture on curb.

The unit was wet everywhere, tenant has a lot of furniture, contractor needs to move all furnitures to storage before remove the wet carpet.
