Roof - you didnt mention how much repairs are needed. most important, decisions about paint color, granite top, kitchen cabinets  tiles in bathroom, don't kill yourself in making those choices, be smart and quick, don't look at 100 designs to make a choice. 

So I went to go pick up the rent at one of my moms properties and took a quick drive around the block.

If your gutters are all blocked up that is part of the issue.

That was the 1800 block of Central. 

I live a few blocks from a high school and based upon what I've seen, I would never buy across the street or anywhere near a high school.The street in front of the school is always backed up for blocks around 3PM because of buses and parents picking up their kids.

You can use the same for a more contemporary, but you can also go with a very smooth finish.Floor & cabinet colors should be dependent on the style of the property.  

Only Road Block at the Time was I didn't have a Consistent Marketing Budget to proceed, So I saved & now I'm ready to Roll Out the Whole Operation.

Now instead of just moving a piece of insulation a little to the right, this joker took a picture, printed in color, had a computer arrow put in, and then warned the buyer about it.

We are taking a risk on a neighborhood that is a couple blocks outside the already-in-process-rehabilitated areas.

Hope plan B will push through with flying colors.
