The auctions are mainly dominated by a couple of buyers....I can also tell you for a fact that everyone of those buyers knows exactly what the inside of thoses houses look like and their condition.

The same thing is happening with permanent insurance.And since there are the additional features of a permanent death benefit and disability waiver, this "savings account" (insurance policy) self-completes all the deposits you would have made into it, over the course of your working life, in the event you die or become disabled.

Updated paint, redoing ceilings, new deck, new safety features.

What features flip comps have?

Who do you want to rent to and what does that mean for the features of the property?

However I really like the MLS system in Charleston SC.. there is a big disclosure on the listings that says  " If square footage is important Measure "  putting the onus on the buyer to verify.and if its a big deal its written in as a contingency item up front with the offer not after the fact.the listing agent might have taken county records  which are often wrong ( although usually smaller not bigger) and relied on those.its tough doing business in a state that is so dominated by closing attorneys everything freezes until you can talk to them.. 

Project Managed, customized the two homes finish features to cater more to the end buyer.
