A lot of the stuff in Phoenix was bought, 1 or 2 years ago, no improvements were made, and now they are trying to sell for $50-60,000 more than they paid.

They don't have to right to expect you to improve it.

M. about how he is handling his Air B'n'B of course he's in San Francisco so there's more built-in support for the VRBO.

@Leigh Ann SmithProperty values for this year are already set so 92K will be the value for 2015Property values are based on the condition of the property on Jan 1 so if you bought now and renovated prior to Jan 1 2016 you could very well be valued on the improved value. 

And I am a Lowe's employee and get great deals on home improvement items.

To summarize, it says a “Real estate broker means a person who, for another and for compensation or with the intention or expectation of receiving compensation Sells, exchanges, options, purchases, rents or leases, or negotiates or offers, attempts or agrees to negotiate the sale, exchange, option, purchase, rental or lease of, or lists or solicits prospective purchasers, lessees or renters of, any real estate or the improvements thereon or any modular homes, used manufactured homes, used mobile homes or other housing offered or conveyed with any interest in real estate" This is black and white - if you try to sell a house you do not own, you are brokering.

Great job on this @Drew Purvis  How great is it to learn how to improve for next time and still get all of your money out on a refi?
