This isn't something to skimp on as you can lose everything in a hurry.Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions, I'm in the Conway area mostly.

Don't skimp on the wine chiller.

If I delay it by sealing, that means I can focus more money now on some of the cosmetic items I was going to skimp on (new kitchen countertop, cabinets, full re-paint as opposed to partial).  

Either the renovations have to be skimped (or deferred into later years - BIG PROBLEM FOR OUT OF TOWN BUYERS) or the company has to cut their profit margin.  

Don’t skimp on time.

Don't skimp on the written details, but don't give the appraiser a word-wall that he won't have time to process.Give him the BPO and also give him a cost breakdown for the rehab.

I apologize for skimping on the details.

I've done a bit of due diligence on him so far and he doesnt skimp on his materials/finishes.Theres a lot of decent HUD homes that an owner occupant could maybe justify paying more for than an investor in Maize, East Side etc if you're willing to put in a bit of sweat equity or find a lipstick house.  

They'll know you didn't skimp on the paint and they'll assume you didn't cut corners in other areas as well.  

But there's no good reason to skimp on asset protection or any service best completed by a professional familiar with your situation.
