Staging, Staging, Staging This is one of the most important ways you can make your property sell faster and be more appealing to buyers.

They will tell you what areas are appealing to renters, and which areas they typically don't like to have rental property.  2. 

Its a class C apt, in an ok neighborhood, no crime, checked Trulia; I checked the rents, there is room for growth with value add, thought to improve curb appeal; its location is central near employers and shopping.

If you go really old, like we have a 1905 duplex, you run into issues like there's no room for vents for HVAC, no closets, thin walls, things like that wouldn't appeal to high end renters, but low income is okay!

I would be bored too and I’m a visual learner.

Just the potential to do an adu at a later date might appeal to someone with an aging parent.

The guy would not accept cash to leave, he would not accept help finding another place, he just wanted to be a royal loser and make everyone miserable, in the end it took 2 different court orders, 2 different sherriffs, 2 different times to physically remove him from the property, the first time he was removed, he filed an appeal with the supreme court claiming he was a military veteran and in hardship, all false. in the end, i lost about $6,000, by having to extend the close date multiple times, and having to keep extending my rate lock, as well as losing the money from the potential rents I was expecting and having to pay bills in a property I was no longer supposed to be in as well. the sellers constantly tried to get me to close, but the sale was contigent on that apartment being vacant so my daughter and I could live in it. they offered escrow to cover the rent he wasnt paying until he moves out, but I needed to move in and it took 3 more months to get him out after they offered the escrow. either way It wouldn't have worked.

Perhaps seller financing the business only would be more appealing if you position it as the $400k home purchase will help them buy the RV and the monthly payments on the $150k business will fund their RV traveling as ongoing income for gas and RV Park fees.

The curb appeal was really poor.

I was looking in the Indianapolis market but being so far away from my first investment just doesn't appeal to me.
