Ill be going in tomorrow night with a black light looking for problem areas.  

Stop listening to negative people and surround yourself of positive, high-energy individuals.

Things I have found renters care less about than I do: new cabinets, fancy light fixtures, specific types of flooring (other than no carpet), granite countertops, outside landscaping, fancy siding, heavy curb appeal in general, fancy appliances, and probably other things I can't even think of off the top of my head.

New roof, siding, central ac/heat, water heater, lights, carpets, toilets, counters and faucets (they are not gold btw) in bathrooms, paint, lots of new trim and finish items (vent registers, baseboards, etc.), and full clean up of yard and exterior.

Better pics with better lighting and blinds open.

It was difficult to muster the energy to attend a real estate event when I was exhausted from a demanding job and I always had a nice paycheck to fall back on.I'd argue that my method actually reduced the chances of this being a horror story (not generally just for me specifically).

They look distressed and I've never seen a light on or car in the drive way.

Great energy with this group.

So, I guess my point is make sure you only have people on your team who don't take time and energy away from you without adding a lot of value. 

This is exciting and I am sure it was great seeing this come to light.
