¨  Probably want to polish that up a bit but you get the idea. 

The edges are prefinished/polished, and all they need to do is cut the sink hole and faucet holes.And don't ignore granite just because it's not the 'cool deal' right now.

An appraiser will still assess the property and make adjustments based on location, age, amenities, and comps to polish off the final value of the asset.Formula for assessing commercial (NOI/Cap rate = Value)  or (Asking price/NOI =  Cap Rate)Now, I say all of that to help you determine your ARV.

We're also planning on overhauling our landscaping to something more polished and easy to maintain to increase curb appeal.

Once completed, and thoroughly cleaned and polished, you can offer the unit (with pristine, and accurate, photos) for "immediate move-in" on approval.

After about a little over a year we decided that we wanted more than a polished turd and upgraded to a bigger and better maintained 2 story 4br on a lease agreement for $600/month. and we rented the old house out for $850/month.

In my opinion, the brokers should be more polished about what they are advertising.Regardless of who is to blame, this is why you get a 30 day feasibility period.

I  am looking at a property that will take some time to polish out. 

Especially if you have an existing mortgage on itRemember Rental income allows you to continue to depreciate the home while interest income is ordinary income and you know longer get those tax benefits.Only reason to seller finance is if you have a turd you cannot sell and by offering seller financing someone over anxious buys it thinking they can polish the turd.

I can get 8-foot countertops with polished edges for around $175.
