Am I doing something wrong or is home warranty just an extra annual expense I should eliminate?

So let's just stop there with the list and say it took an extra $5,000 to ultimately fix everything else you found as you did the Reno.

Do you think the curbless is worth the extra work and planning required?

Just make sure you give yourself extra time.

Since you didn't have anything in your contract beyond the 2 3-month extensions for a point each, i would assume it could be contested legally as far as any additional points that would be paid for the extra time beyond the first 18 months since it's not in writing.

Yes, they require some extra follow up.

You are adding an extra expense every 5 yrs to repaint.

I contacted Trane for the issue and asked them to put a one-speed motor although we paid extra price for the multiple-speed motor without knowledge.

The worst case you would have to spend couple hundred or thousand extra over a regular move out rehab to clean up the extra stuff etc.

Say your rental is worth 100k, pull out 70k, find a property for 40k, and put 20k into, and 10k into holding costs and extra buffer.Refinance that rental at say 100k,at 70% LTV and get 70k back.
