I'm having a difficult time deciding between Allure and the click vinyl planks like Ultra.

most markets 25k profit deal with 100k in is ultra competitive.

In fact I recommend financing every chance you can because of the ultra low interest rates today.To Ali's point about "broken appraisal systems", it has to do with the local market and lack of good comps, not so much with it being "broken".

But the decision is not merely one of expected value; very possibly financial losses may be more painful than financial gains, making the decision for those people one of ultra safety and hence ultimately a lower net worth than those whose decision process is less "emotional".I see the risk of inflation must greater right now than the risk of deflation, hence I am in the process of strategically "leveraging up" on my real estate holdings.

My initial intent was to do some simple painting and add some Allure Ultra flooring from Home Depot, nice white base molding, and then list it on the market as a Seller Financed home.

If you Google this, there's a lot of suggestions:1) Super clean by Castrol2) Let kitty litter sit on the stain as long as you can then after you wipe up try some ultra dish detergent to let sit for a few days3) WD-404) Oven cleaner

In addition to my comments above, if you want to be ultra literal and logical, consider this...Most people define money as a currency for trade/bargaining.

Ultra-steeply discounted deals like this are going to require some marketing on your part.

Hi Karen, the market is on fire ,ultra low inventory, same as orange county, Phoenix is also a hot market, thats partly why Im shifting gears, finding a new niche, I going to be doing marketing compaign for those sellers in trouble.

This is primarily because of the low occupancy in the beginning (which produced negative income for the first year) and the ultra-high interest expense on the hard money loan.
