That's a red flag for someone trying to use a business-purpose loan for owner occupancy, so many lenders won't allow it. 

Even though this would also be an equally small loan, banks can't turn those down if your credit is otherwise good because that is considered red-lining which is illegal for owner-occupied loans.

Any red flags or important clauses to include in our contract?

Look more into a long term hold strategy, if I can get an interest rate where I can break even or even go in the Red a little where the house is being paid for mostly by the tenant then I will look towards the appreciation down the road. 

RED.

If I am ever wrong, and libel someone, despite what appears to be every red flag, I could undo the career work of many BP employees, myself, and our founder Josh Dorkin. 1) I'll repeat my suggestion to add a sticky right up top of every topic.

I'm considering going with Vacasa, Red Awning, or Evolve.

(Red ocean) Should I change the way I am looking at this and view it from an abundant and creative POV where there is always opportunity and a chance to build? 

It’s a Red state so there are less regulations.Airbnb is pretty solid here too. 

YOU are the one that is putting up the "red flag. " I would not show you props if you are going to give such a hard time over this.
