Best advice I’ve ever been given and always forward is:- create a detailed budget right down to finishes including cabinet pulls.

I am happy to provide email addresses for any of the above via direct message. 

Hi Lee,Thank you  SO much for this detailed reply, incredibly helpful!!

Then I had to in detail explain how this wasn't a credit card....

MLS has more details on the comps, but just have the agent that's submitting offers pull that once you get to that point.

I was on Zillow, which led me to auction.com for the details of the live auction dates.

Any expense that is Ordinary or necessary is deductible.Keep in mind the devil is in the details.

Although I have already read about the laws related to security deposit matter in CA Civil Code Section 1950.5, I would like the property owners with similar experiences to me consider my situation and advise me regarding the following items1- How to calculate their security deposit and provide an itemized list, while I do not have any invoice in my hands. 2- As my tenants have not left any forwarding address, shall I contact and ask her the new address for sending the itemized list?

I love old houses with big moldings, cool original details and some character.

You are going to stress too much to be able to do many more deals if you are worrying about every little detail of the new owner's lives.
