The risk of compromising the potential trust and respect between you are your tenant is not worth it at this point. 

As a wholesaler if you don't tell at least 3 lies within your 1st two deal you won't be allowed in the wholesalers club.... j/k :-)Here's my nickel of knowledge: Whether its a little lie, big lie or slight bending of the truth, if you feel it compromises your morals to the point you can't live with yourself then by all means stay clear from it.

@Russell Brazil - I started my investing career in Toledo's 43608 zipcode of $15k 3 bedroom houses because it was all I could afford...then after banks began loaning again I moved into 43612's $40k 3 bedroom houses after that because it was a compromise between risk and return. $50k properties are super nice in my portfolio, and they better cashflow, my family lives on them :).

I don't have a specific market for you, but my two cents is you might have more success hitting both high cash on cash return & appreciation with a STR rather than a LTR.Best of luck in your search, but remember: real estate, as in all things, is a game of compromises... and if everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.

Your compromise could be to do it yourself and, before submitting it to the IRS, have a tax pro check it out.

Offer to compromise.

Then I had my roofer go out and look at the roof to ensure there were no leaks or any of the roof compromised in any way.The remediation company did say there was some moisture in the attic in a small area where the outer part of the roof contains leaf debris.

If not maybe a compromise is in order. 

It's really up to you if you want to do the work - you could always compromise with them.

If you try to make one property do both, you're going to have to compromise.
