They added or converted some space to a 4/3.Investor who did the flip, did a clean job from what I can tell before a true inspection.Permits are unknown for granny flat and additional room.

title company has to clean it up... if you don't volunteer they usually turn it over to legal.

Kim,Your subfloor may be the plywood used to go over the joists and may be tongue and groove, if this is the case it may be tougher to replace.

LOL> had to hire staff to clean up his docs and outside attorneys docs.but like all things you get what you pay for and when these guys are only charging 300 to 500k for escrow services you get about that much of work.if I go to my 450 an hour attorney here in PDX everything is perfect but a simple closing would end up being 3k.. this is why title and escrow on the West coast that are owned by the TITLE insurer is so FAR superior to anything we can do in attorney driven states at least when it comes to efficiency cost and accuracy of documents not to mention communications..

Downside is that they are usually not the cleanest of people, even if they're not party-throwers, so you should expect a little more cleaning up than normal. 

The interest and down I suggested is a fair representation of the lender's risk, in other words, if things go wrong and the little old lady who sold the property has her attorney involved about something else and then discovers her being screwed over, there are many paths they can take to clean a predator's clock. 

Do I include a cleaning fee with the rental agreement?  

You want to make your property safe, clean, appealing, and functional.

Their daughter owns her own cleaning company and all I've had to do is text her check ins and check out days and my cabin is cleaned.
