I used Zapier before but it isn't so convenient to use for email into podio because a different email has to be created for each item in an app.

Both of these items going at once causes me to think that this stove could be fairly old.

I can tell you that when we can hand the home inspection to our contractors it makes it super easy for them to not only see the picture of the item needing repair but also the description.  

I purchase the items after checking for best prices and value at the big box stores, then the handyman picks it up and installs.

Still, I am considering sending the evidence with the itemized breakdown and their refund to try to show them they have no chance.I just don't know if this is a good idea.

@Michael Dunn Based on what you're saying, I think the most important item to research is how much of the areas with the lower priced properties are majority rental areas.

You want the net income after all expenses like, maintenance, utilities, taxes, insurance, property management (if needed), if the property is vacant figure that in, and Cap Expenditures (any big ticket items that might need fixing or replacing once you own), things like the A/C unit, water heater etc.

Now when we look at the surface items (flooring, kitchens, paint, lawn care, etc that is pretty easy to replace but that tenants habitually destroy) vs the items that really matter and can suck up a lot of funds (electrical, bathroom, landscaping, etc.).  

Your not really going to double your closing costs....some items yes, but many are bases on price, including PMI which should be the same.

There are some other items but those are the big ones that I mentioned.
