Clorox toilet bowl cleaner with bleach.I just spent last week doing this in a kitchen and hallway.

It's crazy to sit down at the closing table with clients who are first time home buyers, and when they see the paper that says how much interest they are going to be paying over the 30 years, and what their total cost will be, their eyes practically bug out of their heads =PI suppose you could use an amortization table /breakdown to help sell seller financing too for that same reason.

I will be replacing gutters, shutters, front door and garage door, stainless steel appliances, cabinets, vanities, countertops, inside doors, back door, new grass and landscaping, new fence, new tile in bathrooms,acasia hardwood in kitchen, foyer and master bedroom, all plumbing fixtures, all missing copper pipe with cpvc, door hinges and handles, toilets, adding double trey ceiling in master, granite counters, painting inside and out, new carpet, adding some crown molding in master, kitchen, foyer, family room and master bath.

We're not asking the sellers to carry any paper either.

You could offer less (I like Brian P's points) or offer a slightly higher price that includes some paper, and structure the deal such that there is some risk reversal.

One drawback is that they are paper-based, not online, so it's checks to deposit and paper records.

"my toilet is clogged" phone calls.

I do have a rental house with somewhat similar purchase/rent numbers though that doesn't cash flow well on paper, but it's completely remodeled so at least for now my maintenance/repair costs are essentially 0.  

We want to participate in the tax auction, where land owners have not paid their taxes and are listed in the paper. 

What considerations should I be taking aside from the obvious (carpet, curtains, wall paper removal, vent cleanings, etc...).
