I would totally agree with you that "shameless self promotion" should be eliminated, and of course, links to sales pages, et. al. should be deleted.But when your staff says "we don't want you to mention "Google"", then I think that is a bit excessive. 

The main reason for a double escrow is to hide your profit in the deal because it appears excessive and that is a good reason because if you think it is excessive it"s likely the seller is going to feel the same way too. 

"Live in condition" means not even a needed interior paint job in my area, let alone dry wall damage.

So it's tailored towards people who want flexibility with their money and in my lists, it's made up mainly of young upward professionals who have excess cash (not a ton) want to invest in something that returns better than banks, but want the flexibility in case they have kids, get married, etc. 

Whatever his reasons, do not spend excessive amounts of money trying to please this guy.

The kitchen is right above it, checked all the appliances (including the fridge with the ice maker), under the sink - all is dry there ....

I'd switch from buy mode to improve mode a the market prices increased enough to dry up new cash flows.  

First, I am brand-spanking-new to real estate investing (but we are currently on our 5th home) and secret messages or excessive acronyms will fly right over my little newbie head.Second, the property in question is not a deliberate investment, it is a home we were unable to sell.

When it looked dry I would and start a couple dehumidifiers running in the room for a day or two.It will probably clean up perfectly but if it doesn't, hey;  look at the bright side - at least it will be well prepped for painting.

One concern of carrying 2 policies on the same property is that most policies have “excess” clauses.
