Really, the only question to ask yourself is what you could have done with the extra 30% of 440k.

I'm not crazy about this at all, and I would only consider it if you cut them a separate check as @Mike Dorneman points out, but I would make it a net benefit to you for the extra risk involved. 

However; I also plan on selling houses in my spare time for extra income. 

It is a a mess, several years of deferred maintenance and a couple handfuls of loose ends tossed in for extra measure.  

If that were true, we could all go around buying FSBO homes and then relisting them with an agent for a nice profit - you'd be rich within a year.The truth is that: 1) FSBO homes are typically way overpriced, and 2) Lower priced homes (mobile or located in rural areas) are more likely to list FSBO.

It might fly and has been known to and then you upsell the house for a little extra cash.  

But I was just talking about this yesterday and I want to have the extra time and resources to do the things I want to do.

You should be able to ask the owner about the extra costs (utilities, HOAs, insurance, etc.). 

Take some time to save that extra 1.5% if needed - you'll be ready to buy before you know it!

Last recession I was flooded with REO and Shortsales and was making more than what I'm making now(due to some extra form to fill out on each appraisal with extra compensation) However, appraisal is a job, and I left my corporate job many years ago not to have another job.
