Look at trim, windows, the little things… can you keep light fixtures?

The inspection isn't very hard, make sure the plugs are grounded, the hot water works, the toilets flush, drains work and light switches work. 

I don’t need to be your agent to shed some light on it.

They lead to light bulb monuments.

The sellers want to portray their property & location in the best light possible so it’s best to do your own unbiased research and ignore the hype. #24Everybody is a conservative underwriter.Don’t get caught in the echochamber of “conservative underwriting”.

Did a light rehab on the 3rd unit - fresh coat of paint and new carpeting.

Either you or your contractor can draw them, but I recommend having your contractor do it since they probably have a better understanding of building codes.And yes, if you want it to be considered part of the livable space you will also need HVAC and electrical (lights and receps).

@Kathleen McDowell I am just getting into the str and as part of a move across the country with an ev I can say there is an appeal to have the chargers, 3 of the hotels we stayed at, had chargers and the front desk staff had no clue about them, and so far 1 out of the 3 str we have stayed at has 1, and it is actually here in Truckee.Think with the push for ev's it will be more common and to be honest for the week we have been here in Truckee, I have seen a ton of ev's around town and the public chargers (electrify America and Tesla) are always packed when I go by, so it can definitely be a a value add feature as many have said if it gets you a couple of extra bookings.

I've addressed even the most minor issues like changing light bulbs when I can easily put it on the tenant.
