Joel- You confirmed some of my thoughts and second round of questions.

A lot of what you mentioned was discussed in the first "round" when I initially brought my situation to the forum's attention.

A couple of items worth noting - since these pics were taken, seller actually painted the whole interior, replaced ALL flooring, cut down a couple of trees the HOA had been hounding him about, and fixed a couple of other small-ticket items.

They aren't very expensive and they will last 20 times longer than the round filter style.Remember that standard shop vacs with "brushed" motors are only supposed to be run for 15 to 20 minutes at a time.

It takes about a week to get a response once you open up a ticket with Fannie and submit it.

I suggest a plant with year round greenery about 2 foot in front of the AC condensers and then a short PVC picker fence or lattice enclosure on them.

Number one thing that sells a home is price, then next is price, lastly is price to round out the top three.

If you're dealing with a more experienced seller you should be able to get info simply by asking the listing agent for it, but you have to be sure to verify-- this book has some good info about what to put in the contract so they can't get away with too much slippery stuff. oh, and add up all the numbers yourself.

But once I get to a certain point I am going to eventually need investors to help me with the big ticket Items.

Now that I look at it it says the resdience is 462 A Yucca Apt A in Round Rock.
