I've been on the other side as a rehab seller where a buyer ties up my property for WEEKS only to back out (real examples here) because their grandma doesn't like the location of the house, the house turned out to be too big or small for them, they didn't like the color of the flooring, and other back-outs that could have been determined before tying the house up under contract.

But at the same time if its just a little garbage; a few light bulbs here or there; a little sponge mopping; I don't sweat it and just do it and move on to the next tenant move-in without backcharging as I hire a cleaning service anyway every time inbetween tenants."

My negativity has been an issue and I have begun to see the light with  positivity.

Hopefully you can shed some more light on how it went down.

At least with a letter of intent you're theoretically +/- light repairs when it comes to a purchase price.

I don't do flips and I don't do complicated deals so consider my opinion in that  light.

The City does the plowing and maintains the streets, lighting and parkways.

The light on the floor in the third one makes it look like the floor is gouged and the cabinet backs look really bad from this angle. 

Variables that impact production (lighting, co2, pests) are more easily controlled in an indoor environment.

It exposes some very questionable tactics in your business model (if you can call it that), and bragging about almost ripping off an elderly widower through the unlicensed practice of real estate does not paint you in a positive or professional light.
