Maybe they've been burned by landlords in the past and are being very careful.You can legally reject them based on personality, facial tattoos, body odor, or other factors, but you better make sure you can prove that it wasn't based on any protected class like race, religion, familial status, etc.

From my understanding, based on my experience buying and selling properties in Texas, any known repair or damage—even if resolved—should still be disclosed, along with a note explaining that it was fixed.

For your midterm lease, I strongly recommend you use a state-specific lease to make sure all of the landlord requirements are covered as well as any state-specific disclosures.

I searched for homes based on the mortgage I could afford.

Diversity is great, but the fundamentals for real property are too strong in my opinion. 

There are two options I have offered and I want to get a check on here if I am off base with my offer or if I need to push harder.

Longer lead times I get alot of intern inquiries which can be fine but income wise they aren't as strong a candidate.  

Ask me off public to explain.But, the point is, you are going to pay based on the purchase price.

Such strategic zoning decisions bolster the provision of affordable living spaces, invigorating local economies by amplifying the consumer base to support nearby businesses.

It's called a payoff statementif it's a big lender you will not buy the loan as it will take forever, you are better just paying it off. you then can foreclose based on the total balance owed to you which is both loans and any accrued interest. regarding fixing property or selling as is, that really depends and needs to be evaluated on a case by case basis
