I agree with @Jim Piper that if this is to be an ongoing relationship it is especially important that you make a stand and not allow this person to dictate unreasonable terms to you.

LOLI do not get too much into politics and the big picture too much.Dennis I understand your position.My mom a few years ago had a full knee replacement.The surgeon that operated on her is one of the best in my half of the United States.Medicare covered part of it and then her secondary insurance picked up the rest.She was one of the last patients with Medicare that this Doctor took.The reason he no longer was taking Medicare is not only were they going to start squeezing them on pay outs but the bigger issue was control of the patient care.For instance my mom has one of the best knees with no issues and full range.It's the same the professional athletes get for sports etc.The surgeon was telling us Medicare was fixing to dictate to them what brand and quality of knees they would have to surgically install in their patients.All because they want to buy cheap crap to make a buck and buy in bulk.The surgeon said he is not putting in junk knees from Medicare and then the patient sues him for revisions,infections,messed up internal parts that fail prematurely when the problem isn't the surgeon but being forced to use an inferior product.More policy thinking they know what is best but creating more problems than solving them.

That's part of their job so sometimes it isn't even the original reporter dictating the headline.Regardless of what NAR says, CAR has been very supportive.

Who gave the banks the power to dictate what you can do with a property that you own?

The market picks you based on its ability to deliver properties that match the profile/criteria dictated by your financial goals.  

The criteria is dictated by your investment model...

Take ControlDon’t let others dictate to you what you must do or not do.

Home values and rent prices dictate the “Class”.

One could a priori BRRRR “high cash flow” properties under whichever ARV is dictated for them by the market.

I would drop the price to $600-$625 and keep the $25 application fee.The neighborhood dictates the rent price, not the landlord and not the "niceness" of the unit compared to its immediate neighbors.
