I've cut 99% of unwanted calls doing this routine.

If there are items of value left behind, or even personal items of sentimental value, I will follow the abandonment rules to a "T" to avoid any legal issues.

$540 is not unreasonable for a home of that size and the items you mention.

Like you, when I'm working with clients I highlight the key advantages of the conventional rehab loans (Fannie Mae's Homestyle and Freddie Mac's CHOICERenovation) are:- They can be used for investment properties- You can include luxury items- They have a higher limit – $806,500 in most places.Jeff

I'm wondering how much specifics I need to include for each line item. 

On June 7th, we sent an itemized list of deductions via text; he responded on June 8th, disagreeing and threatening legal action.

One quote has the items listed, shows the price of each item as $0 and then has a final total. 

The poster was asking about broken/damaged household items and guests destroying a rental. 

I think the removal of toilet seat and items bolted to the walls show malicious intent as well.

The itemized damage estimate that my insurance provided me lists an Actual Cash Value that is 15% higher than my Dwelling A Coverage.
