I would flip the script and argue under those circumstances the client is serving as the bank for the contractor and not the way you presented it.

I currently serve as a property manager in Nashville.

I wanted to open and operate my own to serve the need in my community to help bridge those gaps between families.

Currently, I own a single-family home that serves as my primary residence.

I'm not sure they would serve a purpose for me then, but for working class people who do more often have financial stresses it is an incentive for sure and also it compensates you for the lateness.

Two wage earners are going to have an easier time making rent than a family where there is only one paycheck, depending on how high such paychecks are, and in both cases you would look at the total household income.Stick to your guns on what you said you wanted, but when you are not in the heat of the situation reevaluate your standards to make sure they are still serving you well. 

I serve on the board of our local REIA (Central Florida Realty Investors, CFRI) and this would be a great place for you to network with other local investors.
