. ^^ yes I closed on a house hack a few months ago and this is exactly what my mortgage broker told me, FHA appraisal itself was not much of a problem, the appraiser just looked for proper hand rails, chipping paint, relief valves on water heaters, etc, which are not a big issue unless the house is in bad shape, the bigger challenge was getting an FHA offer accepted over competing offers because of the perception to sellers that FHA is a big hassle/may not close, a 203k loan can wrap money for any needed repairs into the mortgage, so showing pre-qual for that may make your offers stronger 

Just for discussion purposes.I picked this pic off the internet.It looks like a lot of "Hoarder Houses" decor style.Busy carpet, busy furniture, paneling, faux rocks on the walls, flat paint.I can smell the cigarette smoke just looking at the picture.But I wonder if you owned this place, as either a flip or a rental, or AirBnB, would you rip everything out and paint it all grey and modern.Or do you think pic 2 is acceptable and cheap (quick) way to do it.Tear it out to the studs, or just light cosmetic changes, or something completely different?

The agent seemed motivated to reach an accepted contract quickly.

Side note, I hope it does not reach the summary process, but this tenant is particularly combative and has also blocked my number...The verbiage on the NTQ isANY SUMS OF MONEY TENDERED TO LANDLORD OR THEIR ATTORNEY AFTER THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE SHALL BE ACCEPTED AS PAYMENT FOR USE AND OCCUPANCY AND COSTS OF EVICTION ONLY, AND SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED ACCEPTANCE OF RENT, NOR SHALL IT PREJUDICE OR PREVENT THE LANDLORD FROM PURSUING SUCH REMEDIES, INCLUDING EVICTION, TO WHICH IT MAY BE ENTITLED AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.Best, Michael 

Regardless of what has happened in the past, rent is due on the first and late rent will no longer be accepted...).

I am looking at accepting a position that will have me moving locations once every 6 months to 5 years.

I put in an offer before we saw the inspection report, and looks like the buyer will accept it.How would you analyze this situation?

I was able to find an awesome property and get my offer accepted. 

Don't accept numbers from listings or sellers as gospel.

Or will they accept me doing the work myself?
