We've done this a few times, not as a vacation rental but with spec builds. 

I informed him I wasn't able to get to the house right then and there and that he'd have to try to disable the alarm himself by pressing a button on the smoke detector or taking the batteries out.

What do the specs of the unit state?

There are also Conventional rehab loan options that may or may not work, depending on the deal specs. 

That does not happen by accident, you must spec what you want.The wire shelves allow for easier painting on turns, (easy quick) visual conformation that the outgoing renter has not left (a handgun, illegal substances, or a big dead bug) up there.I am not aware of these ubiquitous shelves being a danger to life...Seems like the tail wants to wag the dog here--maybe a harbinger of things to come.Either the renter or you are the boss...maybe a harbinger of things to come.Good Luck!

I am not so sure we had a shortage I dont recall that.. what I do recall is banks advancing 80% to builder for lot and build package and giving builder 20 to 50 spec loans and builders got WAAAAY over their ski tips and when specs did not sell they cratered and handed in the keys. 

@Andrew Warren I would also mention the LTC for new construction spec is typically 40/60.

Completion rates are even lower for solar (14%) and battery (11%) projects."

Hi Anderson, It was a Spec build.

Some have sealed batteries and some are replaceable.
