@Erin Margaret, I'm with Wes... inspectors don't have x-ray vision, so if the conditions were concealed, they're not going to be able to report it.  

They are motion activated, and the night vision is excellent, so you get a series of photos of them doing whatever they are doing.  

She did not see my vision for how I was going to make a living.

What is your ultimate vision of where you want to be in 5 years. 

Design sense is worth a lot, but it's not always perceived as valuable as it truly is.I hope you find a good partner with whom you have a shared design vision.  

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of great advice on here that is very helpful, but sometimes, you just have to stick with your vision! 

It's very difficult to get others to see the vision that you have especially when they're going to be dropping a quarter-million on a place that looks/smells how you've described.Good luck!

Align your mission, vision and purpose and you will be awesome.  

This is a great story to tell and you should be very proud of your vision that's now translated into a way of life for the 382,458 strong BP members as of today.BP's longevity attests to the fact that it fills a void in REI that others would love to emulate.The BP community is a one of a kind social media network that has evolved over the past eleven years to its current state and continues to so.There is something about BP that creates this strong magnetic field that pulls everyone from the ground up, south to north so to speak.If someone is willing to invest the time and effort in educating themself for near zero or a few dollars compared to other REI offerings, then taking action to build upon their knowledge, it will pay off when action is taken.As we all know, BP is addictive, helpful, encouraging, educational and has a plethora of resources that are readily available to the community.Since its inception, BP has made a lot of people rich, famous, give up their 9-5 W2 jobs, realize that they can be their own boss, reclaim their lives and family time to name a few pluses.Happy birthday BP, your journey is still on the upside of its trajectory path.

If you can find time to take one night or weekend college class at a time until you have these five under your belt I think you will agree that they will help your long term vision and understanding of investing.
