A few things you'll like to know: What was the source of the water damage, is it dry,was it repaired, and was the damage properly addressed according to industry standards (S520 standard andreference guide for professional water damage restoration).

We are electrical contractors so there is little difference, but there are some areas I can give examples:Homeowners want a Square D QO panel which is rated the absolute best for safety (and has been for years), rentals want Homeline or low end equivalent.Fixtures can make a huge differece - $4.97 Home Depot special for rentals, selection process for Homeowners (HOs) to pick the perfect fixture as per their individual tastes.HOs may want Decora style switches or receptacles (sometimes in screwless plates or specialty colors), REIs want economical, standard in white or tan (stock).REIs often have very little hand-holding.
