Am a software Engineer by profession.

I have a relationship with a scientific engineer that has developed a spray on product that can have aggregate added to it to match any texture, it can be tinted with any color, and it is 100% ceramic so it is fire proof and water resistant.

@Alvaro Rodriguez if you e done much construction you know crap happens, I would let the repair problem be the sellers and have a third part structural engineer check the work.

Both the forms cover pretty much everything - moisture issues, safety, housekeeping, appliances, light bulbs burned out, etc. 

If they see old, ugly, destroyed, scraped, burned, molded, whatever, they will likely get scared away to the next home.

I've spent quite a bit of time on BP in the last several weeks, and noticed far more incidences of newbies starting strong and burning out/quitting than I have successes, and I thought 90% was a pretty accurate estimate, if not conservative.

Especially now that the City has changed the process, it is longer, more expensive, engineer needs to be involved and inspect, so it's not worth it.

To Engineering Your Success,Mark

I actually did that myself - dropped my degree in Engineering as my interests shifted more entrepreneurial.

But if you're not selling or refinancing, it doesn't really matter.On the other hand, if you are pursuing a strategy that is dependent on timing the market and exiting quickly, such as a value-add flip, then you could get caught in a tough spot if the market turns against you before you refi or sell.You also don't want to financially engineer your way into higher returns by putting a lot of debt on the property, because if the economy goes downhill and rents or occupancy are affected, you may not be able to make your debt service.
