@Scott Ellis, Cozy looks great! Thanks for mentioning it.

You could even use a hand-held orbit sander for the sides to speed things up. That's probably what I would try, especially considering what others are saying about the value of that type of wood.

I'd also be interesting in hearing answers to these questions.

Dampen a rag with paint thinner to get the paint spots off. You could sand by hand and then varnish/seal after that. If that's too much work it might be best to just replace them.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets Wes! Glad you are here.

Welcome to BP Kana! You'll find this is one of the best online communities, period! 

@Rocky V. makes total sense, being open and preventing headaches down the line. Thanks for the advice.

@Rocky V., got it. Thanks. Do you usually update the lender telling them why the first insured has changed? Do they usually ask or notice it?

@Rocky V., is there a reason to have them as the additional insured? Is that to appease the lender?

I'm looking for guidance on how to handle a live-in subject-2 deal. I don't want to have 2 policies (seller's and mine), and I can't get a non-resident landlord policy because I would be living in the home. Is the best thing to do just get a new policy, with my name as first insured, and cancel the sellers policy? Will the lender care? Or should I talk to the lender first and see if they are cool with that?

Or are there other options I'm not aware of?
