A wise investor will not try to get rich quick with shortcuts.

The bulk of the Cardinal Drive area is a nice neighborhood/family friendly area of the Dale City portion of Woodbridge.From an investor's standpoint the mismatched appliances don't bother me but as a potential homebuyer it could appear as a shortcut to save money which could tint the way the look at the remainder of the home (when I worked for a flipper in the past we realized that we had this issue with a home we were trying to sell, none of the potential buyers could really put their finger on the what exactly was giving them pause but the additional money was spent to match the appliances and it went under contract within a week, may have been happy coincidence but from an emotional buyer's point of view, it could be skewing their viewpoint without them knowing).  

There is no shortcut to marketing, to be honest.

You should use an Attorney.. it shouldn’t cost much either.. when you dealing with property don’t take short cuts
