Also at closing: You should provide proof that the lender is named as such on a valid hazard insurance policy effective at least on the day of closing.Regarding the closing to sell or refi, yes, your lender will just need to provide a payoff letter with wiring instructions to the closing agent.

If you are trying to piece everything together yourself remotely I think the time and brain damage and extra cost in time and cash you would be better to go yourself and do it. 

Quote from @Suzette Rodriguez: Now that elections are over how will the new president in office effect the real estate market?

Honestly, this approach doesn't seem like a very effective practice, which may explain why it wasn’t working.

@Carrie Lane you'd have to prove the PMC directed the pest company to add the screens.Otherwise, you'd have to go after the pest company.Not sure what you would actually win to make it cost effective.

Just make sure you’re prepared to cover any shortfalls on that property and have a strong plan for deploying the new capital effectively.

This quick flip was a testament to our effective approach in Pleasant Hill.

Hard to say what the effect would be on doing either without details, but I'd recommend not trying to do both of those in the same year (unless you have enough cash saved up for at least a 20% down payment on the investment property). 

But I draw the line when there is risk of damage to the property, annoyance to the neighbors, health concerns, pests, etc.

Are there ways to address this concern or to communicate the value of these unique features to the appraiser effectively—without overstepping?
