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

My timeline is still up in the air, but I'll be able to pull the trigger one day. 

Tyndall Air Base is top notch also.Good luck.
