I’d suggest you try to keep your payments and number of roommates both lower to avoid losing everything. 

@William Coet it’s a different business model altogether.I love highly desirable areas that attract highly skilled high income college educated workforces.They tend to be more liberal and therefore the landlord tenant laws.The percent of their income that goes to rent is typically much less than 20% so a rental increase of 5-10% is nothing to them.They are typically lower cap rate areas and therefore every dollar of net operating income that is earned is explosive to the underlying asset value.

Buyer Brokers may do hourly or a % of the purchase price or both because they may help you get a lower purchase price but that hurts their pay day. 

The property prices are lower compared to other markets, and the rental demand in certain neighborhoods can be pretty strong.Let me know if you want to know anything!

You just can't change the terms on someone that has already applied.Lower your prices, not your standards.I'm concerned that you want to lower your credit score requirement because that opens you to more risk.

Hey Tyler,I know of a few that require a certain leverage on the lower amounts, and I'm sure they would want to know your experience in spaces like that.

Benefits of cost segregation really come down to personal tax positions… they can definitely help you lower taxable income but it’s situationally dependent.
