You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

When you think of a classic Victorian beauty this home would come to mind. This home was bank owned just a few months ago and on the market for $85,000. It was purchased and it was improved and put back on the market a few short months later. It was easy to do because it has great bones. It was put back on the market for $179,000 and received 2 offers. I want to show you how you can still make MONEY in our current economic climate flipping houses; this home is living proof.
Bank Owned Homes make great flips because Tacoma has great period houses with style. Some of the best types of homes to flip are homes with character. If you are a savvy investor, or a seller needing to sell a home quickly you can learn a thing or two by taking a look at the video in this blog. You will see for yourself a great tour of every room. You will get some great ideas on how to stage and make a good house become a "I have got to have it now house" or in this case (2) buyers wanted it. They were willing to pay almost $100,000 more for the same home that was owned by the bank only a few short months ago and selling for $85,000.
The second reason Bank Owned Homes make great flips is, South Tacoma in many cases is an over looked community on the rise. The South Tacoma area has had lots of recent investment by owner occupied buyers as well as investors, and many of the neighborhoods are showing a lot of neighborhood pride. Many of the homes have been and still are being renovated.

As you watch the video in this blog notice how this home is perfectly staged. Just enough; home staging does not have to be a fully furnished home. Just enough accent to show off the great features. By using art and a few furniture pieces and accessories the stage is set. They did a great job with this home. You really get a great emotional appeal the moment you enter the door. Always remember to try to appeal to as many of the senses as possible. The eyes, the nose, and even to the sense of sound. The sound of water, the sound of soft music. All of this can really help when selling your home quickly. You can't overlook the fact that upgrades and improvements went along way in making this home the jewel it is.
