I am not sure if the lien will compromise since there is equity in the house.

While the results of Election Day weighs heavily on the overall sentiment, no crystal ball can predict how the ultimate short-term compromise will unfold.

I think I've convinced her to compromise by trying STR's locally to start then, once we have some experience, look at beach property later.

The properties I'm purchasing now cashflow ~$100-150 per door after CapEx/Maintenance/Vacancy is accounted for, with 20% down, but I'm essentially buying retail at this stage which is a compromise of sorts.  

Again, I think I need to be more firm but the compromise that he came back with was 10% deposit up front at the start of the job and the rest based on a draw schedule (10% would be $800 upfront deposit for the entire project).  

Have strict screening and operating standards, Never compromise those standards. 

Their excrement will continue to foul the living space if you don't remove the nests/excrement and clean/deodorize the area.I would not approve removal of drywall unless the rodent infestation was severe and the drywall was compromised.

@Blake Enustun, purchasing a duplex to live in one unit and rent the other is also house hacking. you get to have your personal space while collecting a rent check from the other unit. if your purchase is smart, you could live for free or even get paid to live there. if you wanted to cash flow more but compromise your personal space, rent a bedroom in your unit.

"Consider" a compromise or offer if contested.

You’ll get yourself in trouble when you compromise your criteria.
