Hello, I am in the process of purchasing a home and one item that was revealed is external stucco cracks.

Due diligence items to keep in mind (in addition to your home inspections) will be the insurance rates for an older home.

As an engineer, the items I've listed are typically what I refer to as development costs prior to building. 

You have also account for items such as property taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, contract services (landscaping/snow removal), capital expenditures (roof, water heater, etc.).  

It seems that Airbnb always sides with the tenant and won’t pay for broken items.

Do I need to expense each item or material separately?

Beside the obvious items, k-cups, TP, paper towels...what else are considered supplies?)

You never want to use items that are "cheap" looking as these items are what potential buyers see and touch.

Being an appraiser takes YEARS of training.

Aside of things like properly identifying parties, property, competence of the parties, mistake, fraud, meeting of the minds, etc, there are three essential elements required to form a binding contract:Offer - one party offers to sell, lease, or otherwise transfer ownership of an item to a buyer.Acceptance - the other party accepts the first party's offer.
