I appreciate you thoroughness in the matter but we will handle everything as far as that is concerned and give your buyer a clean title at closing."

Last two loans I did they did an Mai at no charge and they forgot a floor plan and had to get a one off for that one and no charge.. only thing we pay for is title insurance and escrow fee and property tax's and transfer tax if any.

Replaced the carpet with hardwood floors & new trim, painted all the walls, and completely renovated the bathroom What was the outcome?

I have some recommendations for you if you are needing a painting contractor, flooring contractor and a roofer.

After all PITI, utility, and services (lawncare and cleaning) costs I have $7,225.I set aside 25% of this for my maintenance fund.The remainder funds my lifestyle, wife has a Tesla, and quarterly vacations as well as business growth.In 2023 I am tracking to build 4 duplex units designed as room rentals funded in part from a recent land sale.

My question is, he's been clean for the past 15 years no criminal record before or after that incident, has now a fiance and has been living with her and her 2 children for the past 5 years, has a good income and good credit.

We ended up buying one house to turn into a vacation rental and the two other options were one- a stand alone commercial building and two- a ground floor unit (currently occupied with a tenant for another 3 years) of a building that is in the process of being turned into condos. 

All of my applications are coming back squeaky clean. 

Option 3 may sound tempting to you, but before considering that route I would interview prospective property managers and house-cleaning services in the area you are considering.
