What about waiting to the beginning of August to have a feeling of the time necessary to finish the rehab and if you think it will be ready on time then put the coming soon signs in the yard and in CraiglistThe tricky thing here is the last days is when you can see a real difference in the house, when the last touches are been doneYou are more likely to get top dollars when people see fine finishings and everything is clean and polished, but maybe receiving a little less money is better that sit and wait paying holding costsgood luck

Check if title was clean, maybe get some info additional info from the neighbors on the state of the property? 

Looking for cleaning advice from the community.I'm selling a property where some semi-hoarders grossed out my house for a full 13 months.

From the pics, they were clean and well kept, but not particularly updated.There are multiple offers on this property, which will all be submitted on Tuesday.

You might just think about letting them buy the loan from you and get out of the asset clean and simple.  

As it turns out the smoke and soot damage was fairly extensive, involving removing and cleaning tenants belongings, removing and replacing drywall in 2 bedrooms and a loft and removing and replacing insulation.

For example, could I hire a cleaning service and perhaps a maintenance man (who could show the vacant apartments)?

.#1currently have 3 rental properties in houston and plan on buying a 4th in the next month or two. i found this seller during a garage sale and talked him into selling the house. they have already started moving and cleaning stuff out too =)All my properties are currently under my name (ive heard this is not a good thing to do) and friends/coworkers have suggested me to start up an LLC and put all the rental properties under that entity. am i doing the right thing?

So this might be strange and it might even be a good thing, I'm not sure, so I need some help deciphering the situation.In my duplex in Dallas I have tenants that has been with me for almost 2 years now, they have been awesome, pay on time for the most part and keep the place very very clean and tidy.However about 6 months ago they started to complain about little issues every time I saw them.Part of the weather stripping needs to be replace, the threshold needs to be repainted, need a timer to water the foundation.

One of the roofers who cleaned the gutters said that it will cost approximately $25,000 but he said he has to look at this in more detail if I decide to put a new roof.
