(seems straight forward)B) Landlord denies the request for ESA exemption of pet fee / pet rent, but offers the applicant the unit if they ARE willing to pay fee / rent for the animal as a pet.Or... 

For the price, the property has a lot to offer.

Have a scenario to run by everyone:My wife recently received a job offer in which she would make a lot more money, but we would have to relocate.  

And good luck to @Eve Favorse on the offer!!

Not a lot of our competitors offer this but it's something we can consider (but for us, it can't be in a rural area, the loan amount must exceed $150k, if we're using PadSplit income (or STR/MTR income) the max LTV is 75% and the down payment must come from your own funds). 

This might give a one-time (non-scalable) boost to cash flow, offer multiple value-add options, and allow the house-hacker peace of mind, via the assumed mortgage, in long-term breakeven or positive cash flow in the event that the value-add plans end up not being executed, and/or the person has to move out, and rent by the room or STR become unavailable for some reason at a future date.

Definitely follow the regulations in the area and if permissible I would offer to attempt to find an acceptable tenant and terminate their lease when that happens but in the meantime they will need to continue to pay.

What was the interest rate and when you went to refinance what rate were they offering?

Once the concrete absorbs the cooler temperature, it stays very comfortable. 

Doit in good faith, thus if they offer his magical number, take it.
