I have found that Apple .heic doesn't work.  

Compare apples to apples. 

The other strategy that I would suggest in Saint Louis is mid term rentals near Barnes' campus.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.You evicted these tenants, but you kept a relative and allowed the evicted tenants to return for visits.

Fyi, the discussion went like this, she said I want a wrap around porch, grey siding with white trim, bigger windows, french doors, stainless appliances, black barn doors and shutters, etc., after which I put my foot down hard and said “dark grey or light grey siding?”

However, it's also important to compare fees between lenders to make sure you're truly looking at them apples to apples.

But if you buy four $200K houses then it's apples to apples and you're not going to fall behind.For what it's worth, I'd be concerned that if you over extend yourself buying a primary home you'll create a larger scale issue than just being house poor.

Tough to get a more apple to apple comparison.

Get fee sheets or loan estimates from whichever 2-3 lenders you're considering and make an apples to apples comparison.
