After arguing for a few months, we both compromised and bought on Cape Cod. 

Then, suggest a compromise and require that the staff have to complete the criminal background check (no credit check since the company owner is financially responsible).If they are asking you to furnish the house, then you should absolutely increase the rent charged.

Underwrite to whatever your investment goals are and don't compromise.

Don't compromise on where you want to live, but do separate your lifestyle decisions from your investment decisions.

Do not be in such a rush to get that first deal that you compromise your criteria and end up making a bad deal (been there, done that). 

After talking to McClung and explaining my needs the price was lowered somewhat and some compromises were made.
