I want to become more handy so I can fix important items.

You might also qualify for the de minimis one that you mention since it is line item amounts 2,500 or less.I don't see this as strict adaptation, and nor would it be betterment or restoration.

I ended up adding a couple items to my checklist in the middle of the flip.

@Waylon Zook , I have and at least the institutions I requested service required 2 years business taxes, and a few other items.

Also, make sure that around month 9, 10 or 11, you get a THOROUGH home inspection done so the builder can repair any/all items that fall under the warranty up to that 1-year mark.

We had to throw away many items stored down there due to mold growth.

Well Since @Mike Dymski responded let me give you just one item.. 

Additionally, it should allow the property manager to remotely open the garage door for receiving items when there are no guests on the property.

We will use appraised market rents in both of those scenarios.Typical target closing timeline is four weeks from appraisal payment. 10-14 days for upfront processing and all third-party items to be returned like appraisal, title, and insurance; 10-14 days allocated for underwriting and closing.
