Not looking to waste anyone’s time, just would like to trade value.

If there is little, move on; no sense in wasting time trying to convince someone to sell to you ( you risk over paying) Make sure your emotions are in check and that your not overly zealous about getting the deal, be willing to walk and make that known.

Offer $182.5k up front and you may never know if the next best offer was $175k and "highest and best" forced a blind waste of $2500.

You will have so many people waste your time before you actually close on a deal and you will have many realtor fees before you actually see a commission check.

I spent $4,000 on turning the house and it still smells like smoke after painting the ceiling and all walls.

The kitchen kinda slants and there are settling cracks in walls and ceiling.

Going from 3 bedrooms to 12 can usually trigger an increase in waste extraction and water delivery.

But I like that none fi my tenants share walls so I never get dragged in to tenant vs tenant battles. 

As soon as your an agent buying for yourself or selling your own place you open yourself up to a lot of legal walls and liabilities.So in me rambling on lol.

So all that needed to be done was removing the layers of thin wallboard and plaster in a house that had no internal walls and was less than 800 sq ft with no basement. 2.
