We are providing him information in bite-size pieces so he is not overwhelmed. 

I remember very early in my career I went to list a house in a tract neighborhood where it seemed like about every 4th house was the same floorplan....so plenty of good comps, same age, same size, same floorplan. 

I bet 99% of us did not know this until now!

One of my client's homes has a decent sized swimming pool.

I suspect we're reaching a peak and would be very cautious when betting on appreciation because ten years of growth in a hot market like SoCal can be wiped out in one year.

A different size fridge is not 'wrong' as long as it is useable and a reasonable size for the unit.

Say you buy a similar sized lot (to the lots around it) in a 300k neighborhood.

When doing HML, my lender enforces the dwelling amount be the loan size (whatever % of LTC) an also carry the builder risk for the rehab amount. 

My team actually has a good size rental portfolio in the KCMO area.
