Thanks for the responses everyone.  

Thx for response.

Doesn't your lease hold both parties responsible, jointly and severally? 

thanks for postig a response. when you say preclear outsise activities do you mean you invest in real estate investment like multifamily outside in order to prevent conflict. also if you buy in your name as opposed to an llc are the requirements less onerous.

There are tons of responses for what to do when the appraisal comes back with a LOWER square footage figure vs. the advertised MLS listing, but what about the opposite case?

Creating an LLC from the get go and purchasing properties through it would exclude you from utilizing this financing.I run a $40 Million portfolio in the Cleveland area & I can tell you even at that scale the risk of a life changing lawsuit is incredibly low, especially if you are acting like a responsible property owner.

I wrote the above for informational purposes.

I appreciate all responses!

Thanks for the response @Jaysen Medhurst.

The purpose of doing all this up front is to ensure you are qualified for that purchase amount.
