Id suggest that since you changed loan products, presumably without the permission of the seller, that you pay to get these items repaired so that you close and do not default on the contract.

I can almost guarantee that you will get very little to no information about these offers because of confidentiality that us agents must follow.The both of these are 100% case by case and indirect and speculative by nature, but keep them in mind while walking properties in addition to everything that you are supposed to be looking for such as potential value add, conditions of units & ages of Capex items in the basement, lease/tenant situations, etc.

They have Home Depot and Lowe's skew numbers programmed into the software, so once you've finished deciding what you want to update, (it also shows you options on items you can choose from), you can print out a Statement of Work for your contractor that includes all the skew numbers, and costs room by room, and you can order directly from the software and have the items shipped directly to your site.  

One good item though is that you do not need to do appraisals for a client to get experience, so can do them for your house, friends property, etc.

Taking these items to heart.

The age of a property is not a gauging item.

Go to HOUZZ and look at gravel driveways in New England-they have it down and many use a granite atone or paver border-This is best and aesthetically pleasing.But, if you want budget friendly, there is a cheap fix.

If you don't pass you will receive a report with the failed items and have a chance to schedule a re-inspection.

If any of these items are deductible, they will have to be accounted for when calculating your state taxes.

I don't mind used items, but would need delivery, installation, and haul-away of old units.Thanks so much!
