I'm saying it depends on the appraiser and getting another appraiser could mean that your advice could well backfire on you.

That said, this all depends entirely on your financial position, investment criteria, and what you consider a good deal. 

Depending on the individual property you buy your SO may not find it that bad.

Depending on how easily this could be done, I would have have tenant sign a mutual early termination agreement and let him move out.

It depends on how long you plan on keeping the property, what your average utilities costs are in comparison to rent, etc. 

Whether it's good or bad really depends on other factors.

It all depends on where you get your used appliances, as there are too many stores out there that just pick anything off the street, give it a clean, and then put it out in the showroom as long as it runs.

In NC and most states, the offer to purchase will have you state if you are dependent on financing.
