Once this letter is posted you never, ever have to post a late rent due again.We use a one year lease; however, if you sense there might be unhappiness with the apartment, sudden dislike for your colors etc., just say "you don't really want a lease do you?"

If tile, like I do and a select few other companies like mine, I could reglaze the tile a solid color, or make it look like stone for $1 a sf MAYBE AND a long warranty in about 1 day-2 days, long first day very short visit the second.

As we were going through this process, we assumed that we would not be doing a complete re-paint of our home since in the original settlement it only covered affected areas, which is less than 1/3 of the home and our house was painted less than 3.5 years ago with approved colors (we still have the official “approval” from the HOA/Architecture Review Committee).

Then paint the stairs (usually 2 coats) with a Hershey's Milk Chocolate color brown (I had to get the local flavor in there - pun intended).

Though, I'm considering giving this deal to an investor if I can get the price down low enough.The place is a complete mess, the garage is used as a bedroom, paint colors are neon colors, countertop tiles are black, everything is outdated by @ least 10-15 yrs, but no structural damages.

.@ Jason Scott - I have not tried it as I do not typically ever make offers on HUD properties, however, I am sure there is a way to scan in a blue ink version of your signatures/initials and then attach them in color to your PDF doc. - Worth a try I guess.

The house turned out very nice and the staging compliments your selection of colors well.I noticed a few things which might not be converting those lookers to offerors...

For a rental, the property would need some updates, I figured no more than 5k (clean the carpet if doesn't need replacing, paint throughout the house, paint the kitchen cabinets (hideous diarrhea-green color).

You might find a good qualified prospect that just can't get past the color.

Also, paint the walls a darker neutral color, it will not show as much wear and tear and will be easy to touch up when the tenants move out.
