The Graveyard is exactly why I'm posing this question and trying to create resources for investors so that they don't end up in a position where their trust will be compromised.

Next time use a realtor with strong negotiation skills who want compromise your demands.  

., Being reasonable and willing to compromise/see the issue in the eyes of the other side is an important aspect to running any business. 

Once that is compromised, the brand could be tarnished. 

Put it all in writing and do not compromise or go against your gut instinct.

Buy a decent shower head so you don't compromise quality, otherwise the tenant will just replace it.3.

@Erik StewartI’ve always dreamed about RE investing, but when I mentioned it to my wife she at first was sick of living in apartments and duplexes during college and wanted a home, so my wife and I bought a fixer upper as a compromise.

Based on all the numbers you have provided and all the numbers you have excluded this property will have negative cash flow.If it is impossible to find the right property, as an investor, you do not compromise you do not invest.Down payment has no effect on cash flow, income is calculated based on 100% financing to include a return on your equity.

I have always preferred month-to-month but you might try semester-to-semester as a compromise.

I fully anticipate a compromise is going to be reached, or a class action suit is going to be filed against the city of Nashville.
