Found it on Zillow and contacted my agent Jamie Rose and he set up a day and time to see it, and i made an offer the next day.

Please be careful with repair estimates, and be sure any repairs are aligned with what the sold comp's home's decor, paint color, etc. are. 

The HOA approved colors were quite boring so my wife actually joined the ARB and got new colors approved in the community.

Will the appraiser hate your color scheme and dock you for it subconsciously?

.- baseboards were discolored with yellow color extensively along the line where the wall & baseboards meet.- they had tried to DIY paint, left marking on the ceiling and now the house looks like it has two shades of color.

Hi Ben,A brewery huh...You probably have something else in mind. but when you say Fort Collins BreweryI envision a Brewery/public bar with the bar having 12 foot high ceiling to floor windows on one side (on the side of a mountain) with a long expansive unobstructed view of the lower lands below.With a 40 foot deep deck on piles with chairs and tables outside in front of the large windows.And inside chairs and tables plus 6 premium raised up horseshoe booths that go for $20 extra just to sit there and enjoy the view--and buy alcohol and food.The bar serves high quality skin on hot dogs, fries cooked in beef tallow, pizza with  ton of cheese on it, high quality fried cheese sticks, and hot wings.The interior color scheme is dark brown wood and burgundy Naugahyde with nail trim.With some salt blocks put out to attract Elk to the area.There is a large steel building on the property with it's own parking lot for rental for wedding receptions, which includes a bar (due to the liquor licence)It also has a nice view and flowery repose area for wedding pics with the beautiful view as a background.Customer base not aimed at the College level (animal House crowd), but a nice place, a destination, that if someone is going to visit Ft.Collins--this is "THE" place to visit (and spend money at).But with Covid...public gathering places...hmmmm .... hmmmmm(???)

And lenders run a lot of background checks that tend to turn up any real estate with which a borrower is affiliated, so efforts to hide debt are usually futile and, as Ned said, loan fraud.There is a little color I would like to add, however.

I would say don't go above and beyond, fix the chipped paint areas with a scraper, and paint back over the same color.
