@James Clements haha good call, i could create a never ending photo album with some of the things that i come across. 

What one person calls in "improvement" and what another calls "ugly" can be the same thing.I wouldn't do it based on it being in great shape when you get through, they might think a room painted purple and pink was the most beautiful thing ever...They can get out of the lease (in many or most places) by losing the deposit,,your on the hook,,,I would give yourself some sort of out,,,and you could still sell it even though its under lease

What the auto-search can't do is pull rental comps or check for flood zones or tell me that it's an ugly purple house.

The purple books says:Raising the RentUnder a periodic tenancy, a landlord cannot raise the rent unless the landlord gives proper written notice.

One good conversational piece I've used at open house is to have either an album or place some 'before' pictures in the house.

One last thing, check to see how much apprasial fee is and make sure he's not charging any crazy doc fees or because you have purple socks fee, or doc fee or some other crazy fee.Originally posted by @Ben Ortiz:@Tim 1.5 points

I have a good friend, purple heart recipient who happened to be gifted a free home for wounded warriors in Orange County.
