From the lighting sources to the wattage used, from the cleanliness of the windows to the grain of the marble countertop, each home you sell sends a specific message that will directly impact the emotions of potential buyers.And guess what?

Great flashlights and extra batteries that fit, super long extender ladder, korkers/or other brands over shoe to go over your steel toe boots, GFCI tester, moisture meter, a dog nose, an extender mirror, shovel to check foundation moisture, respirator as some properties have gross smells or chemical exposure, regular retractable tape measure forget the laser one, 5 gallon bucket, zip lock baggies, brown paper bags, putty knife, variety of screw drivers,Are you checking basements?

We even coached them through the light rehab to get them ready for max rent.

so pressure from the buyer and the seller.OP I certainly hope you used a National name brand title insurer and or if you used a smaller closing attorney type shop that they wrote insurance for one of the big companies where this is easily handled monetarily at least.

I know the places to go around here for deeply discounted items like vanities, cabinets, appliances, light fixtures, etc.

Omar - thanks for the post and  questions 1) yes - hold off on opening any new  debt if possible  as  any new  debt will indeed  affect your "  debt to income ratio "  and  lower  your borrowing power2) student loans are  tricky  - many are  deferred  presently  due to  covid  ...if you have  student loans - get  repayment terms in place so that the  actual repayment  amount can  be used in the   debt/ income ratio ...if you dont have any student loans yet - try to  delay 3) regarding rolling in rehab  costs to the purchase loan -  this really  depends on what  remodeling  you  plan on ...if its  realtively  light  rehab  work and not a ton of money ( eg...paint /   flooring  etc )  you  might  try to  minimize the  down payment / use a  reguyalr loan and  keep as  much  cash in hand to  do remodeling out of pocket  ( and  with using other funds)  ...if the  rehab is  very  large and  expensive - the   reno  203K FHA type loan is an option to  consider
