For lender's we have been very happy with Kate DiBiase from Northstar Mortgage.

@Nathan G.It's a really nice place and I certainly plan to drag the trash out, screaming, kicking, and biting all the way.

She's has a history of yelling and screaming (notice the trend here?) 

Because your way ends up with him stomping around the property raving in the middle of the night, the cops get called, he starts screaming and threatening them, and finally the night's entertainment ends up with your seller getting Mozambiqued.We keep having this conversation on Bigger Pockets these days.

So ultimately, it's going to be charity housing or transitional services, and she'll kick and scream and scratch all the way there, absolutely sure she did nothing to deserve this. 

One good idea is to buy the $10 leak alert detectors that will scream like a fire alarm when they are in contact with water.

@Kate LeeIf that was their opening stance, they likely don’t want to spend any time until they have a signed agreement.  

Quote from @Kate Weinberg: i am at a crossroads in my investment evolution if you will, and am wondering why you would pick 1 investment vehicle over another given your experience.  

@Kate Szeto For rental property, the furniture and appliances should be capitalized and depreciated over a 5 year period.

Also, if you find a screaming deal that will help your DTI as well.
