Regarding the open permit, we’re just finishing up a few items for the final inspections and occupancy cert. so no concerns there I just didn’t include that information here. 

If you spend enough (usually around $2500) you can get discounts on items.  

I took your advice to mean they are only getting paid on their fees, not the rate charged.Lenders make their fee 1 of 2 ways typically.Lender paid compensation= the lender/broker fee is baked into the interest rate (most transactions are done this way but it makes it difficult to understand the actual base rate of the lender because they may charge more or less than other lenders so the comparison is not apples to apples).Borrower paid compensation = the comp is paid directly by the borrower as a line item in Section A.

You might be surprised to see some tasks are taking a lot more time than you think they should and maybe you are diving a little too deep into those items or need some automation.I self-manage 13 SFRs with a set of linked Excel spreadsheets.

She put a shelf out front with plants and other items.

I say that because you may have different inspectors calling out different items at each inspection for instance you may do a rough electrical inspection with one inspector and do a final with a different inspector that see's things a little differently forcing you to redo work already inspected.

Perhaps lower if it is a rental, as renters are not known for maintenance of capital items.

Add 10% to costs for misc items to come up.

Therefore, all the items you outlined in your question are things I would include, along with any other factors you consider important.Keep in mind that LOIs are non-binding.

@Benjamin M Racicot always have an item of value to give out (with your information on it), but do not ask if they’d like to receive it.
