The responsibilities and splits with all contingencies so there are no known problems like vendor liens, failure of either party to fulfill responsibilities and they lived happy ever after.

@Joseph Tarallo Mark is spot on - don't take a shortcut, remove and, if necessary, remediate.We walked away from a 28 unit building a couple of years ago due to two out-of-service USTs which the vendor did not disclose (he was the one who converting the complex to natural gas, so was aware of the oil tanks) and then refused to take responsibility for them.The property remains unsold, but it looks like he is now removing the tanks.The environmental liability of having unused/old USTs is not something you want.  

Amazing how much difference this will make with vendors and some guests. 

After an offer, in due diligence phase, I would request all the details for example, vendor invoices, sales orders, etc.At what point is acceptable to ask the seller for tenant agreements, copies of utility invoices, etc?

We send 1099s to all un-incorporated vendors who we paid more $600 in a single calendar year.

Unlike the zillow reviews these reviews are not controlled by the vendors - Redfin doesn't receive any money from these companies so no influence and you get the real feedback from Redfin's clients.Good luck.

In have quotes on Vinyl plank from vendor 1 for $2/sqft and from vendor 2 at $1.79/sqft.I hate the idea of tile, I think just because of it starts to look out of date it is HARD to replace it, plus it's hard and cold looking.

But it doesn't seem that simple to me.Example: Grass cutting expense for September shows as a refund being due ( in the open transaction that the online version defaulted it to )  to the vendor who performed the service.

You must have a really good granite vendor (really all vendors/subs) to get everything done for that price!

Good content - great group of vendors.
