Overall an excellent first deal I believe, but I'm already ready to find make my next offer so I don't want to chew up cash I might need on the next down payment.Am I over analyzing while I'm trying to learn this process?

Worst case is a dog chews up all the baseboard and window sills, scratches all the doors, tears down all the blinds, tears up or soils all the carpet, and tears up the yard.

We need to be able to trust our trades, if we cannot, we find someone else.In addition to the cigarette butt count, I have also learned that I cannot co-schedule certain of our trades - particularly when paying by the hour - unless we are on site or too much fat gets chewed.

It dumps forever chemicals into the water, rats chew on them, and I find it difficult to believe that PEX will last more than 25 years.

Definitely something to chew on for the future!

I've seen dogs chew through it (beside the meter box where the fiber drop ran to the house), landscaping crews routinely cut it, sprinkler installers, homeowners clip it while trimming bushes/trees, even seen a case where wasps chewed through it!

The ghetto chews up and spits out coastal investors who've got no realization to what like in the Cleveland ghetto is like.I suggest all out of state investors look over The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods before spending any money here.

I think it's an interesting concept, even though I'd rather chew broken glass than actually live like that.
