Just explain that it is a furnished room for one and see if they're still interested if you are dead set on getting back to short term rental quickly, which I think you might be shocked how bad that will be this year, then just make your Lisa with them month to month so you can push him out

It was quite shocking.

Another time the insured was shocked to find out there was a buried gas transmission running through their backyard. 

Further, to help you avoid the sticker shock: you're liable to find higher homeowner's insurance rates when purchasing as an LLC also.

It is all worth it once you get past that initial shock of getting started.

Property was owned by a hoarder (shockingly enough the property doesn't smell bad and is in good condition...just needs a deep clean). 

I will be very shocked if you find a bank/CU that will use a new appraisal before 6 months.Bottom line local/regional banks and CUs tend to have a lot more flexibility because they are usually portfolio lenders (don't sell off their loans) and you can often talk with actual decision makers.

I'm shocked the appraisal board is standing down on the issue for now.

Do you find that making a verbal offer is sometimes "shocking" to them?

I would be shocked if this property didn't have an accepted offer by Saturday.
