But I generally ignore it because I don't want to waste energy on it. 

So if you're looking to sell for $500k and have an in-place $225k VA loan that's going to be assumed, they need to have $275k to put down, unless you want to carry a note (I see that light bulb that just lit up over your head, OP :P ).Pragmatically, I don't think this is for buyers or buyer's agents to ask about, that would be throwing spaghetti at the wall, unless maybe the home is in a military base town.

200 pounds of rafters sounds a little light for a 24' span.

It has to be move in ready, but there are exceptions for minor updates like energy efficiency updates.

Mail houses have minimums for each order, which makes it tough to do weekly.I was hoping you could shed some light on how to systemize this?

So basic things like lights, outlets, switches generally worked but higher voltage appliances like ovens and air conditioners did not. 

Sorry its so messy, not sure how to break it down in a simpler way.would appreciate any light you can shed on this position. 

I would purchase something that needs some light renovation, like paint and flooring, so you can experience some renovation. 3.

To convert a den to a room, you will add a closet, which will most likely require an addition and/or a relocation of light switches, outlets, and potentially ductwork for the HVAC. 

I am currently using Avail which I found to be a very intuitive light weight platform to get started.
