I ask because if it isn't your dream home where you will live for 30 years then you may need to compromise.

In trying to compromise with my partner's goals, though, I figured that it might be okay to accept that liability for a couple years, because once we get the second house and rent out the first one, then the cash flow would increase.

I was concerned about this being the potential direction the relationship would go but compromised with partner on keeping the tenant.

Make clear from the beginning you will drop this at once if it disadvantages him significantly or compromises your relationship, and keep reminding him of the realistic gains/losses he could have with an outside sale.

Large InvestorsAlthough the majority of units that compromise AirBnb are offered by hosts with less than 5, those with more than 6 properties have been gaining ground of the past 5 years.

If your property happens to be in a less than desirable location, i.e. close to a major road, now is a great time to sell as buyers are making compromises. 

If it is a true metal building, there is a lot you can do to better accommodate tenants, including cutting in larger overhead doors and removing some office space without compromising the structure.

You can also say ‘yes’ while putting boundaries around the request and making sure the compromise focuses on your needs.

I highly doubt the foundation is compromised. 

For everyone complaining about it, get involved in the process but be willing to reach a compromise.
