You are right, there's a lot of realtor and we work from the same data base but everyone works differently.

If you are a bookkeeping client, I will have either prepared your books myself or checked over your work at quarterly intervals throughout the year at a rate of $25/hour so that in February, I already know your books are pristine and I can proceed with analysis, data entry, review and offering opinions for future tax savings (assuming we didn't do a tax forecast in the fall like we should have).  

Those improvements are probably already factored into the price.Might make sense for owner-occupied considering you would not have another housing payment and or cash purchase which don't sound like a good fit for you at the moment.Nice job of coming to a decision based on good data instead of "ballparking it."

you would have data to combat them in the future.
