The adjuster said it was borderline and the offer they gave me put me in a situation where I had to choose the better of two bad options. 

Yes to paint and light fixtures.

Hello Friends,I am hiring a contractor to paint the interior of my Single Family home (Investment Property) in New Jersey.

It has a detached garage and workshop that has some peeling paint.

So choose wisely. 

Just to echo @Gabe N. point, the world is a grayer than you always paint your corner of it.

So I’m trying to apply for a new tax ID number and I’m being asked where the business is physically located.I live and “operate“ the business in Georgia but the LLC was created in Indiana.Do I choose Georgia or Indiana?

@Eric Matuszewski If you are doing owner occupied you may want to keep it under 4 units, you will be able to put less money down into the transaction, but watch out for the PMI if you choose to go with a low money down strategy.

When considering owner-occupied, you have an option to choose an FHA loan at 3.5% down payment, however FHA does require two separate mortgage insurance fees, which could make the deal less desirable.

She had several cans throughout the house as well, as if she had plans to paint even more.
