*Am eligible for a VA loan, have 0 debt, credit score 800+*Currently only have $10k cash saved for investing, income doesn’t allow for big gains in this area*Slightly anti social, very scared to take risks, and easily overwhelmed!! 

Does credit score matter (650-700) or should it be improved before starting?

Figure out what deal would be incredible for YOU.

You don't get to find out your final test score, but I know I got that one right!

That said, get a few secured credit cards, pay off in full each month and on time, and you should have a 700+ score in a year. 

There is an incredibly wide range of service you'll receive from different real estate agents.

My credit score is excellent and I bought the property all cash and completed all the renovations with cash of my own.

There are some owner-occupied segments with people who share motivating factors for selling their home.Seniors with Long-time Ownership: often ready to downsize or transition to assistance.Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS): Struggling financially and likely ready to cash in on their asset.Both these categories have additional advantages in that they probably don’t haven’t been updated and may have deferred maintenance.

One thing I tell my clients is to open up a business credit card with Amex, Chase, or Wells (these companies do not report back to your credit score). 

.#2 - If the contractor installed a new electrical box horizontally instead of vertically, they had better have a reason for that, which maybe there was a reason but if not, they should fix that free of charge, because boxes are always installed vertically, unless that's not possible or if the design is atypical - it's not contractors choice on that score.#3 - As far as the toe kick...OMG...it's toe kick.
