The property is only about 10 years old and generally seems to be in good shape; minimal improvements would be needed outside of a fresh coat of paint, carpet in common areas and landscaping.

They'll start to get the picture.Then, when talking about the current value vs. renovated value you can explain how "oh - people watch these HGTV shows these days and they all want the freshly updated stuff.

I currently live in a tiny town Grande Cache, Alberta where I manage an Environmental Contracting company working with First Nations, Oil, Gas, Forestry, Government and all the rest.My real estate experience is fresh at best but I am in a fantastic position to start with a nice piggy bank of life savings in the 10's of thousands, no debt, dual income with my partner and a fairly cheap rental situation at the moment.We have a wonderful opportunity with some land my partner was given on the Ontario, Quebec border aswell as some fantastic waterfront lots we have been looking to buy on West Coast Vancouver Island.

Now I'm not sure how much of was hyperbole, or whether I have the money for a downpayment on something like that, but as it was fresh on my mind and you being a lender, I wanted to ask.Thanks for replying

This allows for work to be split up on the project, learn from their area of expertise, and bring fresh ideas that lead to growth. 

Spend two hours power washing it and it goes from a dirty fence to fresh looking wood.

A wholesaler should have you a fresh set of pictures that they took.

This might be a higher price point than you are looking for, but compared to Manhattan, much lower-and you could actually use as a get-away when you needed fresh air and relaxing.  

If you are nice they will remember starting out and will want to help and will be candid about the price etc.If the price is too high and you made the mistake simply acknowledge that with the seller and apologize and ask for a price change.The outside appeal of the property is number one when putting out for listing syndication.Do not use a used listing sign as they fade over time.Buyers might think it's been on the market a long time.Instead have a brand new listing sign that pop with fresh color and add your star burst with the selling features on each side that ERA provides.Even if there is no activity on the listing do not get scared.Many times agents don't communicate with sellers for fear of hostility or rejection.Meanwhile the seller is pulling there hair out feeling helpless.Instead call them immediately and talk about the next step in your plan of action as a team to get the property sold.You might have to meet with them a few times but they will come around eventually after their emotions settle down.The property could look awesome on the inside but a dump for curb appeal.The outside needs to invite them in to stand a chance.You need to know if your current market is flat,declining,improving and by what percentage each month.You need to know average days on the market.You need to know any foreclosure notices coming up for the area.You can express to the seller that if these properties foreclose or get listed as a short sale it could impact selling prices and appraisals for the buyer.So "time is of the essence to get this property sold" so we need a reduction.WHY is the seller selling?
