I’ve seen brand new patios slope back towards the house, joist hangers attached with deck screws instead of nails, brand new roofs that leak, etc. there are a ton of hack builders out there creating problems for whoever buys the houses they build that’s why it’s recommended to hire an independent 3rd party home inspector even for new construction.

We also own a photography studio/vintage furniture rental business.

For example, I’m in negotiations with a seller for a house right now and if we hit an impasse, I plan to meet her price but ask her to leave all the furniture (it’s for an Airbnb property so I need furniture and I know she is going to move in with her daughter so she doesn’t need furniture).

I’ve been reading a lot about rolling up closing costs, as well as costs of new furniture into my mortgage.

Bathrooms and kitchen were in rough shape and we had to replace the cabinets in the kitchen.Back patio was a failed attempt at something, not sure what though.Everything else was pretty standard.What was done:Painted house inside and out.Replaced flooring with new laminate, tile and carpet.

Primarily I build custom furniture, as far as the home improvement side: general home repair (doors, drywall, paint etc).  

I only have leather like living room furniture as well, less penetrating material, easier to sterilize and clean.

You really need tenants with nice furniture that live clean and are very cooperative.

When they left on July 17 they said she would be back to following day for her furniture and boxes that filled up the entire garage.

Is it really worth spending an hour of your time to sell that piece of equipment with a resale value of 75$ or furniture that takes up 8 square feet and sits around on craigslist for 3 months before it sells?
