@Maurice Bey I am writing a book not on my experience at closing the deal (still need to do that) but is empathizing and sympath finding the elusive motivated seller that once can use electronic marketing to save money on paper direct marketing. 

I wonder where they put the toilet!  

So you understand from a material point of view: (home depot)5 gallon bucket of cheap interior paint=50Lockset=30Joint compound=104x8 Drywall=10All the brushes, paper towels, cleaner, miscellaneous= 200?

I'm not sure why they haven't sold the loan but some banks do hold on to some paper and that's not a bad thing. 

However, as it stands I'm cash flow positive (on paper). 

Took out a full page ad in the local paper.

I am fairly handy, and I can install cabinets, countertops, toilets, replace windows and doors, etc.

The house has been on the market for a year now and is listed at 60% its original price...On paper it looks very good... 

I don't know about wall maps but if you like paper you can get one of those county spiral bound map books from Rand McNally and start writing numbers on them. 

On top of that both units are on a single electrical entrance and despite some of the waste lines being ABS, the toilets were all 5-gallon models from the 60s, there is one original claw-foot tub and a 1960s shower unit with a 2.5+gpm fixture.
