Then make an educated decision on which strategy is the right fit for you.

Obviously though, I'm not an accountant, so talk with yours before making tax related decisions =) Good luck!

You should probably consult your local landlord tenant acts before making a decision on another lease.

If you want to avoid pets, smokers, or other factors, say so and stick to your decision

I feel like I made a stupid decision by leaving and sometimes regret it.

I do frequently tell the seller to check with his agent and would never attempt to fool the seller into making a decision without first discussing with her. 

I think you need more info to make the decision. 

@Michael PetersAs the PM it would make more sense to me personally that you have overriding decision rights on repairs, renovations, etc...

I actually faced a similar dilemma with my personal property what I recommend is make the calculation over the next few years how how much each options is likely to generate and compare them side by side, it really helps to make an educated decision.

Like Odie stated, if your intent is to live there, most HML’s won’t loan to you as lending rules for owner occupants kick in like RESPA.As to your numbers, you need to narrow those ranges as they are too wide to base a competent decision.
