Thanks Kevin,I'll continue my search, I was just hoping to catch a break if someone in the BP community knew of a specific lender to save me some time shooting in the dark.

Firstly, just as a note, you may find you have more success breaking a long post like this into multiple smaller posts.

He told me he returns 15-20 calls on his lunch break. 

If, for some reason, this can't be done, you could use a fiber or rubber expansion board to create a bond-break between the wood and concrete.

I get much more cash flow when I rent by the room than by the whole house, and when something breaks (normally) it comes out of the security deposit and that helps me fix up the house to make it nicer for the next tenants.

If so no monthly cost unless something breaks. 

Before I break the news to my wife, if ANYBODY can tell me how this ISN'T an ABYSMAL deal I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks!!!

I reinvested proceeds from the rent collected from the first tenant, to spruce up the second bedroom (I call it the nature room) I added a full length body mirror, study desk, a few various wall decors, updated the listing pics (didn’t get to put in service the new comforter and pillows, since I’m still waiting on them to be delivered) changed two small details in my outreach marketing message, and it made all the difference in response rate from the female demographic; since the majority of travel nurses are females, I realized they would not feel safe/confident in booking from, who they presume, is a single male, so I included a profile picture of my gf and I.
