Hey, I'm new at this too so take what I say with a grain of salt....

I could get even more cynical and point out all the poor people who are displaced when investors gobble up deals all over their neighborhood and start putting in Whole Foods and breweries.  

Also keep in mind that when a home inspector comes through it’s their job to pick out as many problems as possible - so take some of the minor stuff with a grain of salt.

Food was everywhere, pots and pans just coated with burnt stuff..

Seems like we're the one group who's expected to directly foot the bill for necessities -- I don't see politicians forcing grocery stores or farms to provide free food to those who lost their job in the pandemic.

I am speaking of something known as "residential assisted living", a step between a retirement community and a nursing home, where senior get help with their ADL's (activities of daily living, i.e. food, laudry, etc.), all done in a house equipped for them. 

Obviously, there are important things like making sure you have food, can pay your utilities, your apartment/home, and gas these 4 things.

Therefor, if you can't hit a homerun with today's prices I would rather hold onto my money and wait for a sure-thing vs. wanting to earn less per hour for my time than I can earn wiping tables ad a fast food establishment.

The cost for electricity probably does not exceed the cost for a hamburger at a fast-food and the cost for a timer or motion control switch probably costs several years of what it costs to keep one bulb on 24/7 for an entire year.A few weeks ago, we changed 80 15-watt Exit Sign light bulbs that are required to stay on 24/7 at one apartment building and the cost for electric is very insignificant.The most-expensive thing our tenants waste is 'water'.

I personally think it’s worth it but you have to take their price recommendations with a grain of salt.
