But it could be done.Perhaps a compromise alternative would be to sell just the rental and buy the property you'll want to move into later. 

I have pivoted to less conventional methods of financing my deals; I have been focusing on loan assumptions (typically better rates and terms than what's out there today) and seller financing; with these two strategies and a little creatively I have been managing to still cash flow above 8% during the underwriting and not compromising my investment criteria.

Over time, this continuous decision-making process can lead to decision fatigue, where the ability to make sound judgments becomes compromised.

This gives the Tenant an opportunity to ask for compromise amount or time.

In the case of a serious conflict between landlord and tenant, the parties should seek mediation to help them reach a compromise.

We've discussed a month to month lease option as a compromise? 

Criteria are very different (creek, lake, mountain...)If you try to buy something with all criteria, you'll most likely have to compromise quite a bit and may end up with high vacancies or a tenant who doesn't like to see you every weekend in "their" backyard.

Don’t compromise.

As a compromise, I've seen builders use shipping containers inside of homes, to give a different experience inside a home that can be comped.

If for whatever reason they aren't willing to pay a small one-time fee to take the very last step of the process it sends up a red flag on my end.If you're concerned about turning off potential applicants then I do agree that the idea of applying the cost of the check to their first month's rent seems like a nice compromise.
