It will need a few minor fix ups as we want to keep it in great condition - new kitchen cabinets, fixtures, redo one bathroom and carpet in living/dining room and hallway. 

Then they added their own light fixtures and dimmers which they removed before they moved out.

I agreed to lock-in the price and sign the contract now because it's bird-in-hand.While the buyer is renting my house which they will be buying, they are finding things wrong with it -- carpet is heavily stained and worn (it is, my last tenants were awful), there's dings in the drywall (again, bad previous tenants), the mirrors and light fixtures are rusting (Hawaii is humid, things rust fast), and there's bugs, possibly termites.What, if any of this, am I responsible for?

Degrees are great and college is great, don't get me wrong, but it is not everyone's cup of tea. 

With some basic understanding of investment principles you should be able to discern over the course of a cup of coffee or a beer whether an agent is on the same page as you and has helpful information to share.

I would want to pick out all the things that I see like light fixtures, cabinets, tops, flooring but I expect the contractor to get all the other things like support for the structure (sockets, nails, screws, drywall, and anything else needed to put it in place).

I also do fix and flips in Orange County and would love to have a cup of coffee with you and your husband to compare notes and current projects.

I am always open for a cup of coffee!

I take nothing at night except that I drink a cup of the tea about 10:00 every night.  

If you would like more information and sit down for a cup of coffee let me know as well.Good luck investing.
