Way to always make sure the seller knows you want to keep your hat in the ring, always pays off sooner or later. 

:)Putting on my loan officer hat for a minute, there are a couple of things you should talk to your loan officer about:1) When you refi a place, to get the best terms, you will need to sign documents saying you intend to stay for a year before you move out.

This where you live and die by your handy man when you self manage .You get a call send him out then he makes a judgement  call on what to do .This is where your handy man needs to wear a couple  hats .

@Pamela Swanigan congrats and hats off on this!

Win win and once done I asked for referrals and closed more, one same day, heck they took me to meet their friend they were so pleased .Always try to find a common ground , I was in the army , a guys house I went to look at he didn't live there I saw his hat when he arrived , it said infantry I was sniper who in the army was support for an infantry unit in iraq we started chatting, he started smiling etc.

The ones that are priced right have multiple bids and I don't throw my hat into the bidding rings.

Where can we buy shirts/hats/other BP stuff? 

Beyond hat you can continue to run through worst case scenarios that will probably never happen or you can get going and buy something

Or would I be trying to wear too many hats at that point? 

You'll have to wear all hats for a while but once you get a good grip on things, you can begin to outsource the things that you don't like.
