And a big tourist town (Branson MO) There is a Tyson plant located within 15 minutes.

My thought is you need to be there during the inspection ( just like people do when they buy their personal resi's and walk around with the inspector and see whats a major item and what is minor and just basic up keep... like the pictures of the plants around the house that's ridiculous just cut them back   etc etc.Its how your seller deals with this is what one would want to know.

Warm up all the spaces with plants, decorations, towels in the baths, etc.

That 3.6 TRILLION dollar budget didn't help the vision of recovery in many minds, Keep your head on a swivel, nose to the grindstone, shoulder to the wheel, feet planted firmly, shoulders squared, etc.
