There is a jut out wall where the fireplace is, and I am considering painting it black or dark grey (and the rest of the walls white).

@Wayne Brooks @Jaron Walling yes that’s safe to say, thanks.

@Colleen F.It’s a condo with an hoa, so my long term capital expenses I believe are fairly minimal since the hoa covers almost everything structurally and behind the walls.

, so those buyers aren't going to come check it out either, they think the home is trash (b/c they are comparing it to the $950k homes, on the assumption that if it's listed for $875k, you must "actually" think it's a $950k home, which in turn makes you appear to be a "delusional seller, so let's not waste our time on that listing" when all you actually did was list it at actual value [HERETIC!]).

Hey y'all, trying to access equity from several SF properties I have, but running into walls in every direction.

The test consists of 10 random samples within the house including vinyl flooring, popcorn ceilings, wall texture (not drywall), pipe insulation, and and attic insulation.  

Seems the dirty little trick and lazy method of debt collection is to report the credit bureau straightaway...I mean why not handle more accounts and collect on more accounts instead of wasting time picking up the phone, emailing, or otherwise tracking me down?

We need to open an unbearing wall for the kitchen and break the closet wall to expand the master bathroom space, then other works are just cosmetic.

That's kind of insulting and a waste of my time.

Otherwise, if you don't have the correct size system you will end  up with other serious issues like wasted energy, over-working the system, etc.Spend a little more for professionals and save in the end.
