Also, @Paul Sandhu & @Lucas Carl, are you guys one-man-shops or do you have a full team?

This entails sufficiently sanding/scuffing ALL the surfaces being painted... a very tedious, time-consuming process on raised-panel doors.Or, you could remove the doors and drawers, take them to a furniture refinisher or cabinet shop, and have them prepped or stripped (a lot of these shops have strip tanks which makes the process easy).

I really don't think any appraiser is going to be "fooled" or anything like that, I just think that effectively turning that busy street to the backyard and changing the address over to the adjacent street will make people feel like they live in a nicer, tucked away home.

Such as when you walk into a chain restaurant or shop a retailer anywhere in the US you will receive similar service.Facebook Marketplace can work because you cut out the middleman agents—the matchmakers.

Currently house hacking with a mobile home/aprtment in the shop.

So if you come across a bank that has one...then keep shopping! 

Thursday April 5 - 6pm to 7pmAvenue Flower Shop & Wine Bar 10632 S.

Family, friends, acquaintances, church, hobby groups, social media folks, mail man/woman, dry cleaners, dentist, doctor, people you see frequently at the local soda shop or supermarket, people you see on the train/bus, etc.

I opened this thinking $8k for paint was crazy, but that sounds like a huge job.My rule of thumb is to get at least 3 quotes for everything (at least the first time) and let everyone know I'm shopping them around.

I'd probably shop around for a different lender since the lender has already told you they want things fixed before they give you money and it is an "as is" sale.
