While it never hurts to reach out to the inspection company and see what they say, this is not an uncommon problem.

which I consider to be a reasonable question and not an uncommon one, what is your son going to say?"

If I'm the one picking the lender and this comes up, then I view it my responsibility to credit back the second appraisal fee at closing, but I know that to be a somewhat uncommon sentiment in the mortgage community, so budget for a 2nd appraisal fee juuuust in case. 

@Michael P.And I have heard of out of state investors putting down 10-15% before is that uncommon?

It is not uncommon for a seller in general to request cross qualification but if it makes you uncomfortable you can always walk away or ask for more info.

Section 8 is actually saying they will foot the bill for that penalty, the tenant is an exceptionally difficult one and I do not know what they are going through such great lengths to keep her- is that uncommon?  

If it is uncommon in your market, more reason to provide them.

It isn’t uncommon for a replacement for a PCS’ing member to move into the same neighborhood as their sponsor...sometimes even 'hot bunk' into the same house.7) Understand the legal provisions afforded to DoD service members by the Soldier and Sailor’s Civil Relief Act (Military Clauses, etc).8) Many military with VA loans (zero down and little equity) turn into accidental out of state landlords because the military member can't/doesn't want to come to the table with the 10% costs for a sale after only 2-3 years equity.

This is not an uncommon lease clause, and I have seen clauses where the tenant is automatically billed for a cleaning service, no matter what state they leave the property in.I would charge them for the professional cleaning. 

Cash flow negative was not uncommon and if the landlord did not have the cash to run a business the HELOC would not do anything--there was no equity left in the houses and the banks closed them fast!
