No redemption does make things so much cleaner when the banks are trying to clear their books.John Corey

The contract does, however encourage the birddog to stick around and do extra work to make the deal more profitable (like finding a local contractor that won't take me to the cleaners).

In this attic there were 10 vacuum cleaners, 7 TVs, 8 mattresses, 8-10 microwaves, mountains of clothes, several bowling balls, pots and pans for 10 housholds, and several tons of other junk collected from at least 20 years of tenants.

If you want a quick sale, then your property needs to be cleaner and nicer than the competition, and cheaper.

I believe short term flipped properties, although empty and cleaner, sometimes have a stigma attached to them.

I think it's cleaner to do it through an escrow service.As far as closing the paperwork, it's up to you.

You really need someone with development experience so you don't get taken to the cleaners with this.My e-mail and phone is in the signature line.You can contact me if you like.

It looks cleaner and accents the paint on the walls .

well... you would think that would be the case... but...this property is in a city that has no zoning, no formal way of evaluating a property and has no history of inspecting a property.home sits on 8 different lotsfurther, this isnt a rehab. the corporation who bought the home upgraded beyond belief. beautiful trim, accents, original antique knobs, new cabinets in kitchen, new appliances, new texture on walls, tasteful paint in all rooms, fans in each room, 2 big *** HVAC units, foundation repaired, new roof (although an E1 tornado touched down 1/10th of a mile from the home yesterday), new windows, gorgeous flooring is original and was refinished 2 years ago - clean, clean, clean and even cleaner!

I don't even think we'll end up sanding anything since it was just a fresh top-coat.As for the floors I either have my guys degrease them with Zep cleaner, or paint them, or just leave them as is.
