Inflation is real and will chip away at the value of your savings (really impressive to have done that while in college) and continue to drive up prices.

If you're wanting to get access to some of your basis to get some chips off the table then do a complete 1031 sell, and buy at least as much as your net sale. 

The seller gave me a deal and there's no doubt he was all about saving 6% in realtor fees; I used that fact as a bargaining chip and because of it I got a lower price. 

In poker, if you're short stacked (relatively small amount of chips/funds), then you'll want to focus on one hand that can net you big rather than getting chipped away slowly on multiple hands. 

Leases were sent over but they had one issue which deals with paint chipping in the bathroom and a lead scare from paint used prior to 1978. 

Other simple things include grounding/reversed polarity of outlets (you can buy an outlet tester at Home Depot for $5), using foil-faced tape at furnace & water heater flue pipe connections, operable smoke/CO detectors, cracked/chipping/peeling paint if your applicant has children under the age of 6 (I think?)

80% of my equity is probably around $110,000.Also, I have been considering getting the exterior of the home painted as there is tons of chipped paint, etc.

The chips, the components in your fridge etc. are frequently manufactured in multiple countries before being assembled in the US.

Online I see about 3-4 days but I don't expect my job to be easy so I think I am expecting 1 week.The Expected Project:-Repair of rotted door frame and two pieces of soffit-Pressure wash of of house-Prep Work (Paint Chipping, Sanding, Caulking)-Paint house 2200 sq ft-Paint 2 car garage (Only the top portion. leaving exposed cinderblocks unpainted.)
