. - There is no good way to bid on properties that are sold at auctions when you cannot see the interior. for the sake of exercise I am looking at this property 6920 Grand Valley Dr., Colorado Springs, CO 80911 it is currently bidding on Auction.comZillow estimates for neighbors 6950 Grand Valley Dr is 252k or $305/sq.ft. 6965 Grand Valley Dr. is $307k or 108/sq.ft.I know you said that Zillow or Redfin are not reliable but I would never expect this kind of difference in $/sq.ft.

I am an interior designer by trade and when we talk about investing or selling, we advise people to go as neutral as possible to attract as many people as possible.

We renovated the interior and exterior from top-to-bottom, adding about ~40-45k in equity.

Always looking for your favorite real estate investment, financial planning, business, and interior design books.Currently on my nightstand...1) BRRR - by David Green - I’m almost finished!

A back porch was added and turned into 2 simple interior rooms built from wood.

For the interior, we typically use "Torque White" for ceiling and "Accessible Grey" (Sherwin Williams colors) for the walls.

We completely renovated interior and added a Master suite in the upstairs portion of the Cape Cod!

When the tenant vacated I spent $16,000 in upgrades which included kitchen, bathroom, painting of the interior/ exterior, and adding a closet to the family room to make it an additional bedroom.

I went to the park and checked all of the vacant home's interiors (master bedroom closet, electric panel, kitchen cabinets, under sink) and exteriors (on the tongue and in the vicinity of).

Again, this is an interior door in the property so the tenants are the only ones that can access the door.
