The partial wood in the vanity top is loosing, I am wondering whether solution for that.

I previously had a tenant for a short term lease that paid a premium of $200 per month for it.

Sellers of businesses usually ask a premium price to an employee, as they keep thier job, there is a greater incentive for an employee to move up as the owner.

Luckily the kitchen only has a single layer of faux wood grain vinyl plank on the concrete foundation.

House is a moderate rehab with roof need 100% replace shingles and wood.

That dremel will pay for itself pretty quickly even with occasional use.I've done a bit of rehab linoleum scraping and some test plunge cuts in wood - amazing tool.

Make sure you view the "general information" and the "certificate process".You don't need to know everything there is to know about investing but you do need to know everything about what your investing in.Things to watch out for:Minimum depositesDates for all cut -offs for money and bidsThe starting interest rate on the certificatesTypes of auctions (bid down, premiums, ect)Do you have the righ of ownership if when the redemption period is overRedemption periods*note* If you don't know the property you are bidding on, don't bid on it.

I have been doing this 27 years, and I have seen hundreds of people back out of contracts, and so far (knock on wood) no one has ever lost their deposit who backed out before contingency removal, and no one has ever lost more than their deposit for backing out later.  

Even if there are no obvious signs of damage beneath the current layer of shingles, removing that layer could potentially expose some rotting wood etc.

Grab a cheap plastic pump up sprayer , 2 gallon works good , and soal the wood deck , probably twice , let the surface dry , once dry hit any green areas again , once clean rinse with a garden hose .
