Coal?

Hello there,

I sent off an email to my realtor asking what she thought of a particularly lowball offer for the home that I like, but that will need LOTS of updates. It's basically frozen in the 70s, and it's going to take a lot of money to make it look nice. That includes a completely renovated kitchen and of course, new carpeting or hardwood floors, and obviously new paint. It needs a lot, so I don't want to start off with a huge mortgage. But it's in a great neighborhood, so if I could fix it up, I would have a real gem.

Right now, it's a diamond in the rough...but maybe it's just coal.
