The property is worth every penny of asking, but my mortgage broker is certain it will not appraise out.

About a year after the crash started, I pulled out every penny and stuck it in my bank to use as my reserves so I could qualify for loans.  

Have a property I'm flipping in Phoenix, the previous tenants took all the copper piping and replaced them with C-PVC piping.

If you take even a penny now it could reset the whole process.

IE $500-$700 units) I can tell you that Vinyl Allure flooring as well as original hardwoods with some serious clear coat on top are the way to go. 

You're going to want to save up some money as well even though a VA loan is zero down you're still gonna have to chalk up a pretty penny for earnest money..

I've got to paint the whole unit 2 coats at least. 

The rest of the house also needs some other touches (fence, common hallway, fresh coat of paint outside). 

If there's an even coat of dust then someone hasn't walked through in a while.

(white shakers will do the trick) bathroom: about 4k to 5k if you are doing plumbing and some electrical : if not maybe closer to 3k to 4k (use 1.50 per sq foot for tile)drywall and paint: laminate flooring : I don't know about chimney : but maybe don't take it out: just cover it with drywall....make sure to get a $300 home inspection before putting another penny in there.... of course a flipper will say: I ran out of money.... blahhhhh : We can make a better return on other projects... really.... they know they can't make money here ... and thats the truth...
