My name is Robyn and I am brand new to this business.

A lot of people are paralyzed to make the first step because it's always scary to do something brand new.  

If the areas get enough light and is suitable for a lawn, make it a lawn.

@StevenHamiltonCan you shed some light here?  

Bought a studio setup last year as there was not a video and lighting place around.

This means removing 100% of C violations (mold, fire safety, mechanical), 80% of B violations (vermin, loose fixtures, broken tiles, smaller stuff), and 80% of A violations (really stupid items like a light bulb out).There are more - so many more.

My down payment of 5% will be $3,000This leaves $5,000 left over for repair costs, and by reading up on what the FHA guidelines are and what they require for a house to Pass and be approved for " liveable " condition, I will almost certainly need more than $5,000 to do all of the repairs .Can someone shed some light please, as to how strict the FHA guidelines are , and what they will require , that Has to be done .

We do have code enforcement here, but they are just concerned about the signs we place on city property (medians, next to street lights, etc).
