If the offer is accepted, I deliver a fresh check to the title company, they have never said "O this does not match the copy you sent in the package".

Rents in Detroit actually went into decline with the abundance of foreclosures there, because those fresh foreclosures sold so cheaply that landlords could hit their target cashflow with lower rents - so they lowered rents to attract tenants thus leaving other landlords who had paid more previously now stuck with trying to find tenants in that declining market.But in a healthy area, rents will be typically increasing by a "cost of living" factor - 3% to 4% in most years.

Visible mold on the ceiling but I'd rather see that and know what I'm getting into than something hidden with fresh paint.

I grew up in Louisville so am definitely not fresh to  eastern Boulder County, but because of the county line split there are definitely a lot of differences to constantly be aware of.  

Then fresh paint and decent flooring .

I need NEW FRESH ideas to get this going. 

ive been doing some research driving around my area and came across this house . its a 3bedroom 2 bath , 2 car garage with a pool . the house was buildt in 1999 . however has been vacant for 2-3 years according to the neighbors . the story goes that an elderly person died in the house . this is fairly common in hernando county florida . but after a walk around the property . the house is in need of mild repairs . a fresh paint and drain of the pool a fresh paint of the house and that's on outside inspection ,and the a/c looks newer the roof looks original so I'm figuring another 10 yrs on the roof   I did see shampoo bottles in the bathroom however I cant go in the house for a more formal inspection ,  comps show the house to be worth around 110,000. 

Some like fresh air.

fresh coat of paint?

You won't get a premium on the sale if you're moving it to an investor who tries to negotiate a good price for a cash purchase vs. a retail buyer who is emotionally attached to a freshly rehabbed home.3.
