The difference for a soft vs hard credit hit is simply whether the tenant was involved with the pull of credit.  

Painted cabinets are becoming more popular now-don't think it has to be a sterile white but a soft neutral grey could work if you have the right countertops and backsplash.  

I fill any large imperfections in the face of the panels with quickset mud.Now that you've doubled back and really tightened everything(trims and all) with caulking it's on to paint.For a really high quality job you will want to spray/roll and back brush two coats of oil primer.

Thats the thing about gold, the important thing is the purity of the gold and jewelry is rarely pure because the softness of gold means you almost have to mix gold with another metal in order to make jewelry.

They usually don't have a clue about hidden or soft costs.

But again, state laws vary and attorneys are the ones to set it up properly.And finally, I was talking in broad brush strokes regarding the agent/broker role.

One mortgage broker told me the difference between having a 701 score and a 699 score on a 30 year fixed is a FULL .5%, which is think is a little crazy.The problem is a few months ago, I had a middle score of around 705 i believe, and i just did two soft pulls today and am getting 685 and 696.

Serve pro also indicated use of ozone but we removed any soft material and only hard surfaces remain. would ozone treatment be useful?

First off, I don't want to be a Real Estate Agent.Whatever anyone's reasons are for choosing the path they choose, I don't think beating on them in a public forum is the way to guide them.I haven't found an investor friendly Real Estate agent to work with..I'm not painting all Real Estate agents with the same brush and calling them all useless.This is a very helpful and instructive forum for new people.I find this thread turned into the exact opposite of what I've found on here and I'm just voicing my displeasure at the tone of it.

Every time a property sells on the MLS, the seller receives less than the market value, not just from the soft costs of selling like title search and settlement fees, but the Realtor takes a cut who listed and sold the property.
