They are a very nice couple, we had several meetings, I'd put together a lawyer reviewed JV document and the, reno plan for the upstairs suite of 15k to redo the kitchen, add flooring in 3 bedrooms, and paint the interior.

I have looked in the short sale and nothing much other than paint and carpet clean.

If you are looking to purchase property for investment you want to make sure that your Agent is investor "friendly" remember that when you are investor you don't care what color the bathroom is painted or if the flooring is pretty.

It's just much cheaper for flipper to paint over the water stains in the ceiling than to repair the roof.

Albert Ng thanks but is there a way to get a loan before an auction such as 100k or anything ?

1st floor could use paint and very light rehab.

The property needs some TLC, mostly paint, landscaping, bathroom upgrades, and kitchen modernization, estimated around 150K.3.

By face-lift I mean scalloped siding on the front above the porch and/or sandblasting the brown paint off the concrete.  

I'm self employed I do painting, drywall and a bit of handyman work. 99% of my work doing turn over with rental properties in the Orlando area.

sorry Wes but the picture you're attempting to paint is misleading.
