Many of our clients have done this and secured much better terms....EricThis spreadsheet decision is based on what you can afford and when you expect interest rates to fall.

The other factor to consider is less tangible, but comes with mental security.  

I always research companies first before doing business, but that comes from my training and working on security issues, especially after having my sites hacked. 

Some jobs require that when working remotely that they are at home and not some other place like a public place for security reasons.

Sounds like you are throwing money away.   

•Increased Security: Enhanced penalties act as a deterrent, helping to keep your property secure from unlawful occupation.

Throw in the fact that properties over the next few years most likely will have very low to zero appreciation and they probably do not get you a net of $6k a month even if you considered the principal payments you are paying down and lending right now is a far better situation to be in than owning property - just as the opposite was several years ago during very low rates and high home appreciation. 

You can secure a 30 year fixed on a 1-4 unit residential and a commercial building.

Look at purchase HUDS, statement of work if it was a renovation and the sale HUD to make sure they made money on the deal.An organized and easy to navigate borrower's package.Security documents to collateralize the loan against real, tangible property.I also like to throw in some communication clauses with consequences for ghosting.Cheers!

Your property listing can also be a great way to lay out qualifying criteria (i.e credit score minimum, and require a co-signer if lower).After conducting due diligence into a particular tenants situation, and you decided to proceed with an application approval, you could require a higher security deposit.
