@McKenzie BaganHi McKenzie,I just sent you a note.

Here's a full breakdown of the last higher end home I did.

The graph is always up and to the right.Am I nuts? 

You can Host Finacial revenue tool to get an average of the income.

Strip the floor to the subfloor and paint over it to stain block then just recarpet or put in vinyl to mitigate future stains. 

It just didn't seem like the best idea since selling it, we would probably only get pennies on the dollar.

Often times they come back with a list of repairs that they would like to see to protect the home or mitigate liability. 90% of the time those items were on our list to fix anyway, and sometimes we even haven't done before we get the letter from the insurance company.

As far as benefit to the seller goes, @Matthew Paul I think you are probably right on the money and regardless of whether they would have preferred to stay in this house rather than move, it is likely providing them some excellent cash flow; and I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a deal that serves both parties better than the current situation.
