Isn’t that Counter intuitive?

I currently sit at 790 credit score and i use Mint from intuit to track my DTI.

(Maybe this type of thinking is completely wrong, and i'm not in the game long enough to know, or it just makes intuitive sense but in reality doesn't work this way at all) Another thing about it is, im not planning on renting it out right away because im planning on owning it as a home for at least a few years.

It's easy to fiddle with a few numbers and make a deal look better than it really is, and it's hard to have an intuitive sense of what it means when you're new. 

Perhaps the manager believes she can execute the best value-add renovation or intuitively foresee strong potential in a particular aspect of the asset.

I find their UI to be non-intuitive / challenging unfortunately, but support is good and it has the capability to do what I need.

Intuition is sometimes quite a good indicator as well, and there's nothing worse than a sour relationship with a PM, or simply engaging with one who isn't responsive or transparent about things.

It is counter intuitive but often it does not look the best to use the highest settings!
