If they charge you when you bring in the repair person, that seems wrong. 

I personally have never bought any of Ron Legrand's courses nor attended any of his boot camps.

I personally have a very strong reputation in the Detroit market as well as here on BP.

This is one of my personal properties near downtown Gatlinburg.

Adding a personal touch, like a handwritten note, can increase response rates.

These are very personal decisions.I can't tell you how many times I had a seller pay me to go in and redo kitchens and baths, and then get called back by the new buyer to redo the brand new custom work....just because of color.I would just put the house on the market and price it a little high, maybe $20k...?

So it needs to be balanced out and not by the same person.

Our living expense needs are pretty well handled by Social Security and pensions, so there is no crisis at hand.First unit is a $410k listing with no mortgage.

If you can go to some in person, all the better, but even just looking up FB groups for investors in that area or even "real estate" in that area. 

Payments are to be handled by outside/3rd party escrow (mortgage, taxes, insurance, etc), vendor to be determined prior to close of this escrow.
