They often simply don't answer their phones, delivery was delayed twice, and when they finally delivered it was the wrong color dishwasher, which took another two weeks to sort out.  

So for painting the inside one color walls, trim, ceiling it's another $1,275.I could go on but as you see I'm being careful to include as much as possible to come up with a cost going in and I know I'm not accounting for everything.What I've seen about homes like this in my area are they start high in price and the owner finally realizes it's not selling - I wonder why.

It seems like a lot bigger DIY job than Vinyl.That little place could really use some curb appeal.I took the pic above and floated some curb appeal things onto it that I'd think about if it were mine.A new door opening on the right, double the window size, and a more modern color scheme, a little wider siding, etc...Which is a lot more money than just residing in vinyl.I used GIMP to make this (quickly), and not an architectural program which is why it looks a little cartoonish.Good Luck!

We make sure to have creatives with VERY BRIGHT colors that way it interrupts the scroll of FB users.

If a luxury home has the correct updates with current colors and surfaces etc., the seller can name their price.

Double check their liability insurance & comp (especially if they have employees).As for rehabbing, use comps in the area, don't over do it but do produce a clean good quality job.Neutral colors typically do the trick.best of luck!

@Lindsey Clark interesting how many posters to this thread showed their true colors with their recommendations to break a contract they just didn't like.How many of these same posters do you think would be insisting a tenant or contractor follow a contract that they benifetted from?
