Joseph, in today's chaotic lending & foreclosure market, banks are a lot more agreeable to compromising a debt.

Instead of accepting the petition, the Council rescinded the ordinance and is trying to come up with a compromise.It's going to come up again, most likely after the 1 year time period after the ordinance rescission - expect some new, slightly more investor friendly compromise ordinance after Oct of this year.The rest is just personal conjecture, but I've attended some of the meetings and think the people living in the neighborhoods will eventually get relief in the form of limits on STRs. 

It's an expensive dream.The compromise was that I put all of my money into buying rentals and I would not be on the loan, since she had her parents income to help qualify, so my DTI didn't get hurt from this. 

My advice is to look at compromises.

The owner didn’t want to compromise with us so we walked away.

Not only that, we have to look out for signs of sinkholes (which could compromise the foundation of the building). 

Don’t compromise for the quick $, hold out for the better tenants that’s going to be less work.

If a job is too high off the ground or I feel compromised I just tell them they should call a contractor and pay those prices but I am also aware that the contractor will just sub it out to someone like myself and take their cut after they mark up the materials.

My first thought is to compromise and only increase her rent by $50 per month. 

Mac/PCs will grant you the full experience: do anything, but sound like overkill for what you need. iPad, particularly those with a keyboard are increasingly the best compromise for most users on the go.
