I had an AO smith with long warranty,   It died at near year 10.  

@Douglas VogelListsource is the best place in my opinion to get AO lists.

View reportJust got an AOS on the attached property.

But for my local market I am bullish, so we continue to grow our rental protfolio, maybe I can still get a few more AO's before the spring market hits us. 

Milwaukee is hyper-competitive, next months numbers will probably be 103% sold to list ratio, we estimate about 5 or 6 buyers for every seller and it will only get worse IF rates come down.Just got an AO yesterday with a builder on a spec, 90 days out, some custom finished, LVP instead of carpet, we offered 7k EM and they countered with 6k non-refundable because of the customization.

So like I stated before choosing an AO to invest in is all about your knowing your goals, capabilities, needs!  

No one would lend, not even with the signed AOS and 300k down…It was insane, would have broke had Covid not doubled the cost of rent for my rentals.

Not the smartest move by the seller, but it cuts down on buyer competition, which is in your favor. include something like this: Offer is contingent on buyer walk through of the entire property within 3 days of acceptance to buyers satisfaction, otherwise buyer may declare this offer is null and void via written notice within 5 days after AO. 

A small number use the hot press process that is distinctly superior in my opinion in overall strength in dimensional structure and durability.Your chart does note finish which is an excellent point as it's the finish and not the wearlayer that gives a product it's scratch resistance( AO and Ceramic Bead being one of the best but it also depends on how many coats are put on which many makers do not detail).

@Aaron Klatt yes it’s credit cards, it’s because I been listening to BP podcasts for about a month and I am ao excited that I just want to jump in the water and do flips to replace my income and then move into Buy and hold.
