Answered Questions
You'll definitely get a better return on investing on cosmetics(painting, baseboards, etc etc) but properties are different, meaning you'd want to get it specifically evaluated by an experienced realtor to identify best updates.
That'll depend on the condition that the tenants keep the property. You want to make sure if it's really a good looking property, and they keep it tidy and allow for showings to happen, then put it on the market with them in there. If they don't, you're often times better off not having tenants there.
That's impossible to know without seeing the property. Staged properties do sell for statistically a lot more than un-staged homes; however, that'll vary depending on the current condition of your property.
Discount brokers typically get their listing sold the same way they obtain listings, which is at a discount, so you're typically far better off by listing with a regular agent who knows what they're doing. They'll be able to get you a lot more money in terms of your net.
It could it also depends on how long it's been on the market, and typically if it's been on the market for a while, and you did have a major price reduction, what we typically do is freshen it up as a new listing that would be the ideal thing to do.
Impossible to know, but statistically very unlikely. Normally a buyer does not come in with their highest and best offer with their initial offer so it would also depend on how long you've been on the market. If you've been on the market for five months and finally get an offer, then you should probably strongly consider it; however, if it's been on the market for two days, then probably not so there's a little bit more to it.
You would really want to contact a tax expert with that question, and you would want to get a person who deals with real estate tax. You could do a 1031 tax deferred exchange that would defer your taxes.
Absolutely not. My experience has been that an enormous number of buyers see the house for the first time from the open house so it's a very very effective thing to do.
