Regardless of the type of loan (Dutch or non-Dutch), HML’s only provide rehab funds for work completed after some kind of inspection (in-person, photos).

The second guy only saw photos and quoted me for $2,500 but was actually unaware of the additional light switch move.

This place in Shibuya looks pretty good, but they don't take reservations: http://en.southerntower.co.jp/dining/lounge-bar-so...We could also meet in the viewing lounge of my building in Ikebukuro, which is a great space and would be cheap (photos below):West Park Tower Ikebukuro 3-21-13 Nishi-Ikebukuro Toshima-ku TokyoI'm willing to go back to the original place as well.  

Sometimes just from photos.

What I ended up with was having to fly to Detroit myself to explain basic rehab issues that I could see in the photo updates, or to see the work in person for pictures I just wasn’t receiving and would request. 

The things that are most important are cleanliness and great photos.

Costs should be nominal.

Better for photos and higher rents as well. 

going to a flooring store and getting a quote, or sending my handyman some photos and asking for a quote, or going to Lowes and totaling up the materials.but don't worry about making a rental HGTV quality. 

Yea as long as they don't put the same AI team on it that they used on the AI photo fiasco!
