In a lot of these cases, the components of the unit itself, are part of the certification, mandated by bylaws, and the mention is for field installation items.

The best thing you can do to guide you is have a solid agent who aligns with your goals, ideally an investing agent, who can guide you along the way.

I'm going to argue (or "muse") here, that the stars have aligned, giving Jerome Powell and the Fed a clear mandate and little in the way of distraction to doing whatever it takes to beat inflation. 

Whichever option you decide, you should revisit your goals and align with that. 

. *** I realize that the home warranty is going to try and repair these units forever and will resist replacing them, but at some point they would have to replace moist of the components since they cannot just be perpetually repaired ***I was considering American Home Shield since they seem to accept appliances in any condition and without previous records of maintenance, etc...Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

The stars aligned...

You should only sell to invest in something that accelerates your growth, puts you in a more secure space, moves you to a different market, or something specific that aligns with your goals.

I think the main issue is that expectations didn't align with reality.

there is nothing wrong with pausing until everything is aligned, i think there are so many factors that go into buying and until they all align i think this is very wise.Dont look at what you did not do. 

Some are great at the technical components (almost boarderline engineer) yet have no idea about space planning, flow and usage.A design build company would likely be your best plan, but then you are likely paying a premium to have a one-stop shop.
