The clean-out process allows us to get to know the property and evaluate our renovation plans as we peel away the "layers" of our newly purchased distressed onion.  

After the tenant took a few showers  and lived in there it started curling up and peeling.  

You don't want the paint to peel!

I'm not in the game yet but I plan to be soon. anyways, here's my suggestions straight from my notebook:bombproof long holds durable countershardwood floorsGranite countersno exposed ceiling fansoil paint bathroomsrecessed lightingstainless appliances Doorlocks with replacable cylenders so changing locks is quick and easy no wood windows peel and stick tiles for short-term holds

Anything that appears to be a health or safety hazard on a potential property needs to be repaired BEFORE  it qualifies for financing.2, sellers usually are willing to make/pay for minor repairs such as chipped/peeling paint, cracked windows, exposed wood or things of that nature.

Simpli safe is awesome for that, easy to setup (peel and stick), and its month to month.

Couldn't a lender "mask" the origination fee with other non-required fees.

No peeling paint, nothing faded or broken, landscaping is attractive and well-maintained?

Always line up your next step before taking it or you'll step on a banana peel.
