My opinion that is a foolish thing to do.

They would happily come to the home and run the lines for a fee in addition to the monthly service which we are not interested in starting.I am currently waiting on a response to this from my PM but thought I would get others opinions here as well.

I would contact the two top realtors in the area and offer to pay them for their opinion of value.

In my opinion, you want an agent to be working for YOU, not the seller.

In my opinion it might be a liability.

As long as you believe you can confidently generate a return with that cash higher than your financing rate, then it's a smart play in my opinion.

It maybe difficult to envision due to the bad rep we have in Chicago, but in my opinion the building inspectors in the suburbs are much more "stern" or "strict" than in Chicago itself.

Anyone have an opinion?

Opinions will vary on this, but I never put a house on the market until it is totally complete with landscaping, final cleanup and staging completed.You only get one chance to make a good first impression with a buyer, you want the buyer to be noticing all the great features, you dont want them looking and noticing incomplete or unfinished items.We have had many of our houses sell first weekend on the market this past year.

Just my opinion Sean Brennan!
