I agree, a court hearing a complaint filed by another property might be asked to take judicial notice of the Wells decision and might be persuaded to rule the same way but is not bound to, just what I previously wrote.As far as the likelihood of future litigation, underwriters are in the risk avoidance business, not risk assumption, so without an overriding reason, I would decline the opportunity to assume the risk.I'm here to tell you that out of the hundreds of claims I handled based on a policy issued relying on a LOI the vast majority did not disclose the defect. 

Your question makes a broad assumption, namely that IF there is a correction there will also be an associated mortgage rate reduction.

(With the assumption that w equities pullback.

But I prefer not to enter into a contract based on an assumption (or hope) that a particular provision in it will end up being unenforceable in court.  

Over time, the assumption is rents will go up and one day interest rates will go down. 

Good luck and thank you and your husband both for your service (at least that was my assumption),@Jocelyn KaufmanHoly Cow girl, you sound like you are setting the world on fire! 

If you are making the assumption that scaling big means a great life you might be wrong. 

You should look at other assumptions and see if you need to make any other adjustments.

This will help you make decisions on your existing properties (e.g. where to trim expenses or raise rents to offset expenses), but it will also help in using better assumptions when you analyze deals.

This suggestion is based on the Tenant recently passing your screening criteria (assumption is you placed a quality tenant).
