And let's clear the air on SOLO-K's...what is the true requirement on being eligible to set up one of these for REI'ing?

Another option is to air b&b it out until it comes back to the peak lease signing time of year

And that one risk, is the same one that landed me a job with a local investment bank when I penned a letter directly to the chairman of the board ripping apart his old school view on education after an interview that aired on public television.April 2010: After rising thru the ranks at the bank, I realized the investment banking culture was too cutthroat, and simply not right for me. 

I am a recent college grad and now Air Force Officer.

I was in the United States Air Force for six years and moved back down to South Florida in the beginning of 2014.

If the unit has these:Assume replacement every 10 years:Water heater - $900Refrigerator - $900Range - $900Dishwasher - $600Clothes washer/dryer - $1000 combinedEvery 15 years:Furnace - $2900Central air - $29003 BR SFR Flat Roof - $2100 + $300 per 3 years to coat itI annually plan for an additional $1,500 of miscellaneous maintenance expenses and $800 for capital improvements.You could probably use something like this to estimate your per-unit costs as some units might not have all the same features.  

We gutted house installed a 98% energy efficient forced air furnace multi stage.

I'm a contractor,& have worked with Realtors extensively.have your Realtor ask around the office for someone that does repairs/inspection punch list items, they will be able to clean up that mess for you at a MUCH lower priceYou most likely won't have black mold, but Dawn dish washing soap will cleanse everything of mold"Home inspectors will verify"secondly, after all the moisture,& suspected mold has been cleaned/dried, you can simply use good sealer/primer on wood,& concreteI would guestimate around $3,000-$6000 for the entire job including hardwoodsMake sure you block any air intrusions in the crawlspace areas, Colorado can be hard on water lines :O}

There were major/minor repairs that has taken place in the 3yrs (A/C unit was converted to central heat & air had to be rebuilt twice) among other things.

When I was able to finally track him down through one of his references (he answered his phone by mistake) I learned he had signed a lease with another property and had no intention of letting me know this, leaving me hanging in the air over this issue.Gail
