Hi,My name is Brittany Vaughn and I just joined the site.I have a background in Interior Design and got into the home staging business about 1 year ago.

I am sure that Auction.com is getting paid for their service and that is why they add them to their marketing @Wayne Brooks, it is just another stream of revenue for auction.com leveraging the existing platform that they have already built.I have also seen houses lately hit auction.com barely two months past the sheriff sale (now as REOs), but they are pre mls and auction.com does not charge a buyers fee (no co-broker involved), I have bid on a number of those (usually tracked by me from the pre foreclosure stage), but never overpay so someone always outbids me lately on these open platform auction sites.Good Luck to you!!!

Any experience or recommendations on staging your fix & flip property?

Close ring suburbs like Richfield, Columbia Heights, Fridley, Brooklyn Center,,  could be an option for a duplex, but few and far between.

This is important it is already its third stage.

Is anyone else attending Wednesday's CodeNext presentation at the Palmer events center?

It's not what I would do at this stage in my investing but I understand why she does it.  

Usually the local landlord/tenant resource center can give you good information.

Nicholas,Before replacing a toilet, measure the rough in or make sure your plumber measures before buying.To measure accurately, measure from the wall–NOT the molding–to the bolt caps.It seems weird that you have 9 inches to the center of the flange.Why not just return the wrong toilet and buy a 10 ".I would avoid cutting into the wall, any time you jury rig something it will decrease the value of your house.

Decorate, stage, design?
