If anybody has any tips on how I can sell a 2br/ 1ba rowhome in the Old Kensington/ Fishtown neighborhood in the quickest / easiest way, please let me know. 

I'm not looking to sell, but I was thinking about cash out refinancing at 70% LTV. 

Implementing Clean-up, making repairs, filling two vacant spaces, and selling all of the homes.
