Just the mere fact that the individual wanted the realtor to formulate perspectives based on ethnic make up and incorporates diversity into her investing model shows that there will always be second guessing.  

I could go into contract and assign to end buyer but since I have the pieces in place, I'd rather have end buyer go to contract directly with seller and merely state my fee in the contract.

Your nut each month is not what your SFH ($1760) is but a mere $1169.  

@Yusuf Abdi"Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there

@Justin Mitchell....are you saying merely that you're cash on cash return is higher, because you put in a smaller down payment with the FHA?

If the 100k property increases a mere 4%/yr, you made an additional "$333/mo" in appreciation in year one alone, making Deal 2 a much more attractive deal. 

Relatively recent events in my life have conspired to make me re-evaluate my plans to achieve my goal of financial freedom, primarily because they failed!

I remember when I first moved there I didn't have a parking spot and I would usually walk 7 blocks away simply because there was no spot for me to park.I thought it was merely a cash grab for the cities, and an attempt to regulate properties that fall in disrepair, since a lot of the cities have inspections of the rentals too.Or in my case, it says right on the form, that its for municipal tax purposes.One of the really nice neighborhoods in Salt Lake City has a house that they rent to six different people and all the cars there is a sight to behold, I personally wouldn't want that in my neighborhood either.

Merely being a "nice guy" doesn't cut it because there are so many moving parts involved.  

I've never said at any time they were unable to move into the property but merely stated if they were in fact going to be "gone" for the summer then I would take that time to do renovations so I didn't impose when they were actually living there.From a lease perspective, they did each individually sign the lease with the students and parents both signing.
