Kenneth LaVoie punch lists for contractors
8 November 2010 | 4 replies
I do this for every rehab, and for me, it's a personal walk-through of the house that I do myself, not a checklist for someone else (and I'm normally big on checklists and delegating, but not for this super-critical task)...In fact, this is one of the few things that I don't trust to my contractors, my project managers or even my wife to do...you only get one chance to impress a buyer, an inspector and an appraiser, and if there are punchlist items that aren't fixed, you can easily blow a sale or take a hit on price.Basically, I step into every room, look at every wall, carpet and ceiling, open and close every door and window, test every appliance, test every electrical fixture (I even use an electrical tester on all the outlets), test every plumbing fixture, test the HVAC, etc.At first, I would walk around with an inspector checklist...but it's all second nature.

Im assuming that an eviction would be returned in another section in your report.Outside of an eviction, if the fiancee really is making 75k a year (and that is a very critical IF), I don't think there could be anything in a credit report that would cause me to turn them away.An eviction would be another story though.But I wouldn't rent to the student making zero.
