I just do prop staging rather than furniture staging.

DO NOT and I mean DO NOT contact those creditors or make partial payments to them.What that will do is REFRESH and old negative account and make the credit score take a nose dive.It is true it takes usually 1 to 2 months to update changed results in the scoring model.If the buyer has a time sensitive loan issue the lender can do what is called a "rapid re-score" with the credit which will update the credit report score much faster but costs money.In addition to paying down the cards your buyer can also request a credit line increase on all the cards.If 3 out of 5 or 2 out of 5 increase the limit that will help bring down available credit percentages to used credit even more.Even though the buyer is at 680 they want to try to get the score up higher.You do not want to be right at where the score requirement is and then something happens and you are off by a few points.Do not close credit lines.One of the scoring criteria is length of active credit history in good standing.If the buyer has 5 cards and 3 are 2 years old and 1 is 1 years old and the last one is 4 years old then you have a 4 years history.If you close out the oldest one your credit history in good standing has dropped to 2 years now which affects the scoring model.The buyer should stay away from big purchases cars,furniture,appliances,vacations,weddings,etc. until AFTER they have closed on a house and moved in.Those types of purchases are much more lenient on debt ratios than house loans these days.

-Outdoor wood rott-Other AC outdoor unit is from 2007Thats what I remember - still waiting for the report.On the bright side: Foundation & Brick (some small cracks in brick but nothing to be concerned according to inspector) and Roof seem to have no issuesEspecially for the electric issues I have no clue how much to expect 1K or 10K?

We added some furniture and entertainment to the space.

I was also considering airbnbing but with all the cost to buy furnitures, I am still trying to figure out if it will be worth it. 

It will be much more difficult to change it all out once the furniture is in the home so I would think twice about using it for "a few more years".

We absolutely love living here and enjoy all the outdoor activities available to us. 

I figure most people that will be renting out a room won't have furniture of their own and would prefer to move into a place that already provides everything they need.

I just added some curb appeal, stained and finished the outdoor deck, etc.

It's the sort of place most people choose for the incredible outdoor activities and communities.
