Exscue the typos I'm sitting in traffic typing on my Eco 4g lol.

-House needs little to no work and was beautifully upgraded (according to the seller - I have an appointment this Friday to see for myself).

I would then negotiate from that point a profit split with 50% being the absolute highest and worst case for YOU.As to HVAC system new for 1200 sq. ft, a 3 or 3.5 ton is more than sufficient and you can get that done for approx $6k, although it can depend on electrical modifications necessary, electric panel upgrades, gas lines, and ductwork materials.If you are in So CAL, I can get you a good HVAC contractor.

I want to know at what price level do you guys upgrade to stainless appliances?

Including one that sold for 106 a few houses down with similar upgrades.

I have always been curious about the success of these "bandit signs".To echo what several other posters have said, I would be more conscious of local law enforcement, civic associations, or other groups whose sole mission is to constantly keep up with the removal of these types of signs.

And see if you can upgrade your own insurance on that property.

When people have money they will upgrade and spend more.

I am currently looking at a REO that has been on the market for 240 days in decent condition, and the bank dropped the price from $120k to 90k with homes retailing for around $140-160k with upgrades.

Our cost was around 41k with all repairs and upgrades (many of which were simply spending more money than was needed to make the computer model "say" we would save 50% on energy and thus get half our money back!
