Depending on what she says, you can bring up solutions or compromises to the table to get her on board.

Just worries I'm going to compromise for the sake of a shorter drive 

Put it off to the side, so you don't compromise the 10 acres by building in the middle.  4. 

I am new to this landlord thing I am on my fourth property and its all sink or swim now.My second property which is a newly acquired vacant, is a duplex small 2bdrm apartments 500sqft each yes really smallI want to make up for the crampness and make it cozy I was thinking because I can tile pretty well to tile the whole floor a lot of work up front but less effort on the back end.tile replacement is rather easy as long as i keep a few extra boxes in the attic.or crawl space. as a compromise I can carpet the bedrooms and just tile everywhere elsethe bathroom and kitchen already are tiled. cost wise I dont think I am too much beyond good laminate or vinyl flooring or my cheapest hardwood. tile is only my choice because I think I will get a really nice look. which may attract a better quality tenant.

That plus a discount on the rent might be a reasonable compromise.  

We came to a compromise - if we didn't get the property I'd had my eye on, we would wait.

I need help because I am concerned that a hardworking investor's identity may be compromised and someone may be taking advantage of NEWBIE investor's, like myself, who are eager to build a business.

You only need to put 3.5% down, so cashwise it won't get in the way of other real estate goals you may have.My first deal was a 4-unit up I bought with FHA 3.5% in Santa Clarita.I lived for free (as opposed to paying rent) + enjoyed cash flow + built equity so it definitely didn't compromise my cash reserves.Good luck!

Nothing was written and nothing was verbally compromised

Investing, like all things, is a game of tradeoffs and compromises, and for every negative force here in Seattle there are many positives.What's your experience in Real Estate, and do you own your own home?
