I lost nine pounds during the remodel and at the final week of work, I fell face fist off the ladder and was knocked out and suffered fractures in my face.

Quote from @Shawn Nofziger: My wife and I are both six figure earners.

While this isn't a hard and fast rule, more often then not, these are the guys that can't manage their schedules well, and will be gung-ho on your job for a couple weeks, then be flaking out as they picked up too much work and are trying to keep too many homeowners happy.And lastly, the more detail you have the better the bid will be with few change orders.  

I quit my job 2022, live off rental income and we house hack a large 3 level house with rents totally covering mortgage.She has excellent credit and six figure yearly income.

That also perhaps makes people more motivated to sell.  4-5 weeks....that's plenty of time to get a deal done.Good luck.

This could take 2-3 weeks to get done since the seller is out of the country. 

He helped me out, made an offer & we had it locked up in 2 days, closed in 3 weeks.

I beg them not to beat the **** out of the house.. they could do whatever they want to the suspect preferably send in a Canine unit  Yeah, go into a house that's had someone decomposing in it for a few weeks and you find out what real putrid smells are!

Personally I did week-week leases since I can evict someone in 7 days as opposed to 30 days if month-month.
