I agree 100% with Alex Craig rentals go quick if they are updated and fresh.

And, as I'm fresh off a stopped-up toilet in another house we currently have listed, I'm leaning toward that philosophy.

I then called the seller back and set up an appointment to meet her back at the property today (so she's again in the house she wants rid of so badly...keeps it fresh in her mind as to WHY she's selling) and we'll negotiate the offer/sign the contract there (Lord willing!).

After the smell of fresh paint wore off (a month or so) the rotten garbage smell prevailed and has been present ever since.

You're always gonna get a fresh crop of rotary guys coming in and you may be back in 10 years yourself.

Those properties are typically getting a lot of attention and bid up by new and inexperienced investors, fresh off their training seminar, until the risk greatly outweighs the reward.  

Which of the two would you recommend for a fresh, brand new Wholesaling flipper?

Comps within a 4 block radius (freshly rehabbed) have sold or are selling in the range of $300,000 - $340,000. 

There is new carpet in the bedrooms and freshly painted walls throughout.

When you put a fresh coat on it's nice and shiny.
