If you are working with an agent, you can express your contempt for the current owner's decorating skills and rant about how much it'll cost you to upgrade the home without insulting the owner.

So unless the veteran expressed a need for special accommodations during the application process and you do not have that you should be fine.Alice- 

So far I haven't heard the Helen peeps express lower vacancy. 

This is evident when they express their goal as “ I want to own enough real estate to provide me a $10,000 per month income to replace my salary”.  

The rental income will more than cover the mortgage and still provide positive cash flow, which is rare in the California market, making this a great opportunity for us.However, underwriting has expressed concerns about us moving from a presumably larger home worth $606,000 to a smaller one worth $376,000.

To be a LEAD it must have an expressed Need, Want or Interest.

I strongly recommend getting involved with your local REI meetup groups so you can work out your pitch with help from other landlords.I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way without tone or facial expressions behind it. 

There may be a way to do it with a business license according to Keisha in Express Permits, but most of the rules seem unclear and unwritten.  

The other thing I wanted to mention is that I'm telling everyone who expresses interest to call me, no texting, no just showing up. 

You express a lot of the sentiments I have as well.Yes, it is an incredible deal.
