Sorry, not exactly a highly skilled profession that justifies that kind of pay, regardless of what realtors want to believe about their profession. 

The property is four houses away from a nice elementary school and just a few blocks from downtown.My Ninja REALTOR skills value it at $150 - $170,000 after repairs.

When looked at this from a cash on cash return, the returns are staggering.Keep in mind most banks won’t lend on a place like this so your creative financing skills will have to come into place.

.- Don't try to skip necessary repairs (it will ultimately cost you more)- Practice your negotiation skills- Buy your own finish materials- Stage (will save on holding costs and may get you a higher sale price)- Hire an inspector to inspect your house before you sell (cheaper to fix things BEFORE the new buyer finds them)

You want to find someone you feel will operate honestly, ethically, skillfully, etc to help you.

It is soft and porous, unlike the porcelain, and requires being sealed periodically, which your tenants will not do.

Please forward contact info if you have someone skilled in mind.Thank you,Nate Barbee

It sounds like you have skills if you are going to fix the roof and do other stuff around this house.  

I'm wondering if soft close cabinet/drawers vs normal make a big difference in the resale value.

Compare the verses you know to what they are in the target language.This post http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2010/01/koreans-eng... is by a Korean guy who moved to California when he was in 10th grade (about 15 years old), and wanted to improve his English skills beyond what he had learned in public school in Korea.
