Is there an article anyone can point me to that offers more detail/better illustration of what recapture is?

So I’d restore as much as I can and when needing to replace something, look for period accurate items to match the rest of the house.

If anybody would be interested, or know someone that would be, let me know and we can discuss more details. 

here is my home for sale. i think its priced right by watching and see the other homes in our market. but first weekend on the market ive had 1 offer and 1 showing. my agent said we should have 4-5 showings our first weekend. he indicated the price may be to high. i really dont know. the only other housing available to buy in this price range is manufactured homes or early 1900s small homes. please tell me what direction to go. the offer was 20k less than my asking price. she is a first time buyer and only approved for that much. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6042-W-New-Hampshire-St_Spirit-Lake_ID_83869_M26588-85211?

This give you the option to do a home inspection, and release if its bad, but ensures the sellers that you won't be asking for a laundry list of items.

We could use more details to help give better advice, but the real question is determining whether or not you have a deal.

This one is easier as there's natural gas lines and I can just convert it over but still pricey ($5-7k)The seller doesn't have the funds to make the repairs so I'm trying to find a way to make this deal happenWithout getting bids, I'm estimating about $15-20k for rehabbing these items (FEEL FREE TO TELL ME I'M WAY OUT TO LUNCH)....this is on top of the $5-8k I budgeted to put into the interior.I'm not a flipper and was looking at this as a buy and hold cash flowing property.Looking where to go with this one:A) Reduce offer by $15-20k to $155k- Cons: I'm going to have to find a loan as I need my capital for other purchases in the hopperB) Reduce to $160k and get $5k in closing help- Cons: I'm still going to be out of pocket but b/n closing help and reduced downpayment would be able to get most of the work done and just put the rest on a credit card and use the cash flow to pay it down over the next 12 months.C) WalkD) Other options???

After a successful bid, I call him with the details and he emails me the loan docs.

Although reviewing these items keeps me up to date, it may be time to move forward.
