I would be very alarmed if you are having problems paying mortgage without a tenant in place for at least 3 months.

My inspection did not find anything alarming but I understand that the scope of inspection does not cover many wears and tears that are only visible after the tenant moves out.

If it's true that you can't sell whenever you would like I find that alarming.

The funding fee and other fees are alarming to me because I’m still trying to find my first deal and I don’t want to be paying fees if I can get a deal within the next month or so.

IM TRYING TO FIGURE THIS STUFF OUT, SO THANKS FOR THE ALARM YOU JUST SOUNDED ON MY DREAMS OF BRRRRR AS SE.

Change filters, test smoke alarms, check for any type of small water leak.

You can write anything you want into a lease, but even if an item is inside the unit, if there's evidence of a break-in and various things belonging to your tenant are stolen, and if the thief makes off with, say, a refrigerator belonging to you, I think you'd have a rough time enforcing a policy that puts responsibility for your property on the tenant.If it's on the property but out in the open, I can't imagine anyone assigning responsibility to the tenant.

I doubt they would charge more than $10 for hanging two fire alarms when there was already other tasks there. 

Over the next few years, you may save a small number of people the horror of having to deal with him.Sorry you gave your money away to a thief,
