I would be putting 6k down and using another 2k to cozy the place up via paint/ fixtures ect.

In fact, I kind of made myself a rule that I would never buy a property again that needed anything more than flooring and paint and possibly a few fixtures....I guess I will find out soon enough if this one meets that criteria.

With that said, I'd be happy to meet for a quick cup of coffee/tea when I'm down there in early February to learn about the Baltimore market and to discuss a fee/commission for moving forward with one of your leads !

I would like to invite you out for a cup of coffee to discuss how I can best serve you and your business.

We were shown a beautiful model with a Jacuzzi tub and granite counter-tops and a chandelier type light fixture.

The callable 1 year mortgages were one of the fixtures of the Great depression, that one in the 1930s.

That is not my cup of tea.

Not my cup of tea.As for any repairs that may be required, you can certainly use those to negotiate a lower price for the house.

Sheetrock is now finished, finish trim is going in over the next few days and that interior paint starts later this week.That leaves all the finishes (flooring, cabinets, countertops, lighting, plumbing fixtures, etc) for the following couple weeks.

But don't over improve and when deciding on what flooring/fixtures/finishes in your price range, go for the most durable!
