The formulas used by each agency and the weighted aspects of calulating scores are proprietary (secret) but the analysis of underwriting credit, the aspects of what is basically considered is not.

So, I have a question for you, what is the lightest weight PDM type material and what would it weigh on a sq. ft. basis?

Just thinking, you need to look at anything you tie in to and make sure it will carry the expected load, Following my suggestion above of bracing a rafter and tieing into joists that are floating and not laid above the top plate, will cause problems...you need to realize how weight is distributed and carried, all the way down to the foundation.

I always use my own title company, for several reasons:- They can close much faster (literally 2-3 days if the seller's attorney cooperates, as opposed to 4-6 weeks if I use the seller's attorney)- They cost much less (since I do a lot of work with them, they only charge $200 for attorney fees vs $600 for the typical REO attorney)- I trust they'll get it right

The main issue is whether it helps sell the home faster.

No money = no way to pay for laminate flooring either IMO.Getting the higher monthly payment also gets you paid off faster, or gets you a bigger monthly spread of cashflow.Only you know whether you can (afford to) carry for the extra month or two upfront.

Some of these items, like cabinets and carpets, can be depreciated on a faster schedule than the 27.5 years that applies to the house as a whole.

:kewl: I'd rather give back to BP Nation than shoot craps....Thinking outside the box can help you sell houses faster.

Basically I want both rent payments to go to the LLC to pay off the mortgage faster.

If i do the bathroom it's probably another $8-10, but it will sell faster i think if master is on main.
