I guess my questions that still remain: Did the city in theory have a lot of leverage in these negotiations after the second failed attempt at rezoning by the developers? 

I am guessing stricter privacy laws can make this difficult.

Guessing you are in the apprenticeship program => which is not stable enough to offset the 4 months.DSR might work with 20-25% down. 

I am guessing that the vast majority of homes 10+ years old had some sort of water damage at some point, most had probably several.My own home is only a few years old and we had the washer spring a leak and a few years later the RO system in the kitchen started leaking into the cabinet.Seller disclosures are pretty useless in my opinion.

I guess so, unless the host digs their heels in and demands that Airbnb do the right thing.  

A real basic guess is 30 houses each cashflowing $1,000/month.In Metro Detroit, this means $1500+ in rent, with the difference convering taxes, insurance, maintenance and vacancy - NO MORTGAGE!

Yup wholesalers are taught to lie to the sellers full stop.. this is one reason its starting to be regulated.. and I guess wholesalers knowingly not telling the truth to the sellers is OK with them.. obviously it is. 

Assuming you have an architect, my guess is that they will lean towards using the AIA docs.

It's a small place so I'd guess it won't rent for enough to cover your expenses anyway so I'd probably sell, especially if the loss is small, it unless it's in a great neighborhood that you think will do well over time. 

I guess that's part of my question, if you could have the security deposit cover that and people's experiences so I could better prepare myself.
