These short timelines scare me much more than the possibility of losing my deposit, especially since I mentioned my due diligence would include an environmental report in the LOI.  

if so.. i would take out adjectives that are subjective to individual person. stylish to me sounds like eccentric because everyone has their own personal style. i would like the agent to list more facts about the house. they are professionals so ask yourself.."

@Molly MayeuxBefore you count out lenders make sure that you've considered Fannie Mae Home style and if you want to live in the home FHA 203K.Both these loans will rehab almost anything.Do some searches around BP or PM for some details.Have a good one.

Short term as in Air BnB style?

Personally, that's not my style but it works for thousands out there and there are many great KW brokers. 

To me, prefab'd shower pans look basic and cheap, so it would not fit with my style.

As far as comparing to stock market IDK there are some individual dividend reits that have blown away any midwest style TK past 10 years. 100k is now 500k type returns past 10 years.

Type of wood and style maybe?

And it took me a while to find a mentor that has a similar style and now I am a direct competitor of those unwilling to previously work with me, as it turned out.

If she'll wait that long, and if his due diligence doesn't turn up any environmental problem, etc., he will marry her.
