We've had guests do exactly that.We do not advertise any of these supplies until our check-in instructions welcome them to use the pantry, and let this be a pleasant surprise to people when they arrive.In theory a guest could clear us out but nobody ever has. 

Specifically for the missed items during the review prior to the initial call, as well as the piece on no action plan.

Our 4th Amendment Rights as landowners protect us against regulatory takings and that is why lots that were created prior to zoning or zoning changes are typically grandfathered.  

For people that want to close and make it pretty/official/permitted/etc once they are owners, the question is "what is the cheapest way we can get this to pass an appraisal without the appraiser calling for a licensed/bonded/professional/whatever to fix things prior to closing?"

You need to trust your boots on the ground and verify they have prior brokerage experience and ownership experience.

This does seem like a lot of communication, but I would have a conversation with the owner about this prior to firing.

You can read a book and multiple books, but unless you are out there doing it (I.e. getting bids and getting contractors to truly get you an exact estimate) you will be far off from the numbers you want and may even lose money on the flip/rehab.The best advice I would suggest in my experience is that you should get into the line of work by either partnering with someone or working with someone on some projects prior to going into a flip on your own.

The property can only be vacant for so long without notifying insurance so when the prior tenant moved out could be impactful here.

Be sure to include instructions for turning in keys, notifying you that she's out, etc.

My bizz partner when I was doing timber in the 90s  prior to us doing our thing.. he had a Cedar shake mill.. things changed in San Jose area tile roofs are very prevalent.
