So I’m thinking that person did not read “the fine print” before he made the down payment.

For backend finances, Excel is fine for a small number of properties.

@Mose Gebremeskel  as long as you don't constantly use the washer and dryer and it is in an accessible location I would think sharing would be fine. 

Typically, they say he/she was "fine."  

If you are not making claims all the time , you are fine .DO NOT sign a contract with the roofer until its approved . 

You will get tough skin, and if you can handle sec 8 you can pretty much handle any other tenant. 100k unfortunately won't get you too far in many places; BRRRR is fine but unlikely to pull out 100% of your money.

So rent for now.Own the debt until that balances--yes the underlying house price may go up, but that's fine you're also more equipped.

Fortunately with the rent/mortgage ratio we would be fine either way due to the low rate, but certainly something to keep in mind if different lenders have different standards. 

There are some exceptions as to when you can get away with a single stair (full explanation below) but you'll see it is not easy to do.I actually used to live in/rent a third story attic space with a single stair, and as a tenant I thought it was fine.

As long as you have pictures of condition of home before which clearly show a different state upon move out you will be fine.
