We haven’t discussed if the lease payments would be applied to the principal or not.

I'd start the eviction process and advise your tenet to apply for section 8 if she can't find a place to take her in, due to her credit score.

She applied for a refinance which will save her a lot of money and got denied because her HR department would not sign a guaranteed amount of work hours as she has MS and can call in whenever she likes. 

The  'as is' does not apply in this case as it wasn't in this condition when the offer was accepted. 

So you have two options, get seller to agree to a written addendum stating that buyer reserves the right to record a deed of trust in escrow and no additional contingencies, approvals, or costs to seller apply.

No matter what you may find there, same advice as above applies.

I read that it’s required for rental units but wasn’t sure if this applies to an owner occupied property SFH.

I have two options: 1) I can leave the paneling and apply a fresh coat of paint over it or 2) Remove all the wood paneling and replace it with sheetrock and paint.

Hello all, My wife and I are about purchasing a single family home that built 10 years ago, which listed for ~5,400 sqft, I noticed that based on floor plan, it is under 4000 sqft, and although I applied maximum home length * width * number of floor, it's only 4,800, while there is attached garage that is 500 sqft, and 350 sqft balcony on the top floor, which need to deduct from 4,800 sqft  so it would be still just around 4,000 sqft.

I pick the best one and send them to apply for the house.
