I would physically take home ~$200 more per month after all payroll deductions.Should I wait another month for my income to increase prior to applying for a loan, or go ahead and get approved this week as planned?

If the place is going to smell like a barn it might as well be set up like one.

While you can theoretically raise the rent, you might very well be better off to look at a 20 applicant pool as a wonderful thing and carefully select a high-quality, long-term tenant at your current price. 

Invested without physically seeing the property.

Physically going to the county courthouse and researching a/any probate file is more accurate than paying for a service. 

The provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute work or tasks, so these animals are not considered service animals.

We have NEVER accepted checks at a physical location nor traveled around to collect rents. 

@Ray HarrellCould physical damages be covered through the “liability” portion of their coverage?

The numbers appear to work out so it may well be worth pursuing this deal despite the roadblocks 

@David Finley your lender will find out eventually so you may as well be honest upfront.
