She reinforced a though that I had in the back of my head and made me make the decision.The last thing I want a week before closing is the buyers using and abusing the house and then coming up with BS at the closing table.Thanks again and Happy Investing!

The photos are good, though I might re-take the city skyline view shot in such a way as to cut off the AC units on the neighboring roof.So I really don't think you are doing anything wrong, which to me reinforces my belief that the issue is probably price.In my area, this is a dead-slow time to be trying to rent. 

If it comes in low, just have your agent reinforce that the seller is stuck with this price for all fha buyers til the appraisal expires.

@Jeff L....being the financing arena, and reinforcing everything already said, yes, this is definitely and completely normal.

Nickerson reinforced our mindset of adding income thus value, and cashflow, and using tax deferment methods so we could use the money instead of some government jerk who likes to spend money as long as it isn't his.He also taught us to act quickly because he had a habit of showing up at properties we were thinking about and while we were thinking he acted.
