Read it once, twice and more to help visualize. 

I am a visual learner and I even learn faster when I see the numbers.

Podio cannot do that.Insightly also has a much better visual representation of a deal pipeline than Podio.But, Podio is much more adapable to REI even though the learning curve is steep.

If it's an old leak that is not ongoing then visually you might see old damage but it will be dry.

The ONLY flaw that I can visually see is that the first floor has some beautiful tile (not sure on the type... it's really thick tile and kind of like stone or slate?)

36 year old newbie to real estate investing, my parents have owned a few vacation rentals and their large family owned ranch has branched out and now owns some commercial real-estate.I'm a visual effects editor working in Hollywood living in Sherman Oaks, CA.

Eight out of 10 people can't visualize what a finished room will look like when they walk into a vacant property, so staging the rooms people will see first helps them feel all warm and fuzzy about your property from the moment they walk in.But don't just throw any furniture in the rooms.

Since the company has never occupied the property, they have little to no knowledge on the property condition aside from visual inspection, or a handed down SDN.  

Consider 'Holding Costs' and Opportunity Costs.Holding for two years is 24 months of lost rents PLUS all the obvious costs of ownership.Take the FMR for the area and condo config (plus the ownership costs) Times 24 and that's what you just threw out the window.Now try to visualize (dream) getting that back in appreciated value accessible ONLY by a reselling the unit.Sure like to play poker with you.

I've done it many times.First reaction, no to the blue, yes to a warm gray... but I usually do a lighter version of the base cab color on the uppers, or a completely different lighter hue, depending on other contributing visual factors.Are you replacing the countertops?
