Several times we have found them in the electrical outlets in the bedroom, paid for a chemical treatment for those spots and been fine.

I agree with others, if you decide not to fix it, go to the Sears Outlet and buy a dent/scratch unit.  

I use all outlets to advertise (physical professionally printed sign, Facebook w/ ads, Craigslist, Zillow, and cozy)2.

We updated electrical device and he needs to bring power in from the pole to the new panel and wire outlets, switches etc.

This isn't your magical outlet, but instead an opportunity that requires daily discipline and focus. 

Position yourself to absorb the shock of how this will affect you should those projections of optimism be wrong.RESOURCESFor resources/articles I’d encourage you to remember that media, news outlets, etc are often sensational and biased.

Outlets can be tested.

Things like cracked outlet covers or chipped paint were my responsibility to fix.
