It's completely off-the-grid home, very funky in a nice way... everyone that's been there loves it and I think it would appeal to outdoorsy/environmentalist/nature lover kinda folks.

If you’re below $275K, focus on high-impact upgrades like improving curb appeal (landscaping, fresh paint), refreshing the kitchen and bathrooms (new hardware, lighting), or adding energy-efficient features (smart thermostats, LED lighting).

You do the math.Plus all the the exterior projects: new siding, new roof, building out eave returns and soffit overhangs to fix the poor curb appeal, un-converting the attached garage, driveway, retaining walls, the detached garage, 144 truckloads of fill to create a front yard, landscaping... 

I would hope there are some other less obvious or “cool” areas that provide better financials (rather than appealing to my emotional - “I love those neighborhoods”).

Unlike CPAs, EAs focus on tax matters and can represent clients before the IRS in audits, collections, and appeals.

Whenever I show the property, I try to make it as clean and organized as possible so that it looks appealing to whoever is interested.

Living off the grid is very appealing, but certainly challenging.

They have 7 days to appeal.

Those that preach no/low down payments are mostly just trying to appeal to the masses who want everything for nothing that will buy their courses.

While a gorgeous property with an opportunity for an ADU is appealing, I’m more interested in a fixer-upper.
