@Lillie MAnon,You expressed a desire to live in the down south place a portion of the year without me or anyone else prompting/nudging/hinting, so I'll share this option because I believe you can mostly accomplish your goals without fraud and I don't believe you want to commit fraud.Buy the first one FHA 3.5% down primary residence.

Curious if anyone has any idea what may have prompted that change? 

If it's just a private car circling and backspacing they may become quite suspicious and be prompted to call 911.

It did not provide property owner's info (I entered my own home) and the screen you agree to pay $1 on actually signs you up for an $18.95/mo plan.They are prompt at cancelling and reversing all charges.

I thought he was very responsive and answered all of my questions promptly.

Contact other clients of the PM co and see what they have to say about how promptly they handle maintenance requests. 

If it's not necessary don't buy it, and if you have a debt pay it promptly as you can.

Appraisal comes back promptly but low.

Had a tenant move into the carriage house portion of the property within a week of the property being marketed but then he promptly moved out within a day, citing a litany of issues.

DO NOT PAY THEM UNTIL AFTER THEY ARE MOVED OUT, then change the locks promptly.
