It sheds new light on flipping for me.

I can watch the prospects to make sure they are treating my property with respect and I can see if they remembered to lock the door or.forgot to turn a light off etc.

The first step everyone needs to do, to get anywhere near accuracy in "what's next", is to THROW OUT that garbage thought pattern that the housing market is a light switch that operate in either "Red-Hot" or "Crash" modes.

Does anyone have experience with this that can shed some light on the pros and cons? 

@ Christopher LanganHere's what I use, again this is a ballpark until due diligence is performed to take into account all the repairs and or liens etc...Light Fixer (paint,floor coverings, landscaping) $10 sq. feetMedium Fixer (Same as light, PLUS new kitchen & baths) $25 sq. feet                   $20 - 2000 sq. ft. or larger               Heavy Fixer (Same as Medium, PLUS 2 heavy items...HVAC, Roof etc.) $30Super Heavy Fixer (Same as Heavy, PLUS 4 heavy items) $40I hope that helps.

The occasional 4 or even 3-star review is not a bad thing, and folks will take it with a grain of salt in light of all of your other great reviews.

What I'm trying to understand is how I go about choosing what to put inside my property:Bathroom-Faucets & Sinks-Mirrors-Bathtubs & Showers-Vanities & Cabinets-ToiletsKitchen-Faucets & Sinks-Storage/Organization -Countertops & Backsplashes-IslandsLighting-Ceiling Fans-Outdoor Lighting-Chandeliers & Pendents-Recessed & Flush Mount FixturesFlooring-Hardwood-Tile-Stair TreadsThese are the kinds of things I have no idea how to decide upon.

Most of the one I like were already taken but here are two other good ones:Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth.

You got off light.
