I keep good records and several of the items I have sent are being asked for again by the actual mortgage processor.

(I created an amortization spreadsheet of all the replacement items in the home to arrive at this number.  

Hey Garmeon, nail down the items that you can on your own (1) rents (2) vacancy (3) management (4) property taxes (5) insurance and then estimate the lesser known/variable items such as repairs and cap ex.  

What is your return on investment for these forced appreciation/value add items?

Sanger Circle is $440 a year, Savannah is $850 a year (big pool, club house)Whether your investing or looking to buy a primary be sure to look at HOA fees, there are good and bad as you might expect, protect home values a bit, but hike up monthly expenses for items you might not use (pool, fishing ponds, etc)Good luck with your search

We provide a little more information on charging for late fees and other items here:https://support.cozy.co/hc/en-us/articles/20977180...

That being said, the additional guest will definitely put pressure on your house in the form of; more showers, more dishes, more maintenance items, more general wear and tear.

@James DeRoest,sorry i could not be of help, but maybe if your time permits, you could go by a lighting showroom (no big box stores) and run those questions by them (usually they know about this or have electricians installing this all day). i recommend one specialized in modern/contemporary lighting.in the worst case you got some free coffee, nice ladies to look at and maybe some clearance items or some networking with lighting designers...

I found a lot of items on Craigslist to save costs: vanities, cabinets, appliances.

For example - flooring, toilets, lightbulbs, and similar high-volume items are often heavily discounted.
