For vinyl siding it is absolutely necessary to "stage" your windows properly as there will always be some water getting behind the siding and it will show up over time.

Now I don't know it all but I do know that a staged home can sell for much more than a vacant home.

I'm fairly new to entities etc, so please forgive my elementary level of understanding.

Everything from getting the locks opened (with my preferred locksmiths) to ensuring that the rehab and staging are done on time and pics are ready for the mls.2.

On a side not I have decided not to take any money out of my mutual funds during the first two years so if I screw up during the learning stages I don't squander what I do have.

They are in varying stages of foreclosure and hoping to keep their homes.

My exit plan is to undersell my area and strategically repair the house to be overbuilt for the area (staging helps here).

Closing fee’s = 3,000Commission of realtor = %6 = 4,800Rehab costs = 30,000Purchase price = 4,000Capital Gains = 5,7306% (Negotiable) return on rehab loan to investor = 1800.00Home Staging for sale costs = 600.00Potential Profit = 30,070.00Minus any carrying costs while the unit is up for sale.

The only goal that matters are the ones you make that progress you to the next stage.

So it's not just fear of taking the initial step, it's the fear that comes at each and every stage.
