LMR (last month rent), if held in escrow, can be applied to the lease-breaking payment, that way the tenant only has to go out-of-pocket for 1 additional month's rent. 

Since they are allowing a lower down payment there is naturally more risk, so taking on a risky investment on top of the lower down payment risk is probably not going to work. 

You will need to apply for the appropriate permitting.

How would this apply for a mixed rental / primary residence?

I will send him a text and a letter explaining how the nature of your communications will be for now on.

Radon is a natural byproduct of many construction materials and from the ground. 

That's human nature Every single tenant in America begrudges every penny of their security deposit.

The only problem is though that I might not be for another 2 years or so before I can pull this money out of the rental to apply toward another investment and interest rates might be a good bit higher then?

Thank you everyone for the input, I spoke with my banker and the loan I am applying for is not a first time home buyers, it is a loan anyone can apply for.

However, if your response is indicative of nature of the forum I don't suppose I'll be sticking around to add any value myself - What a negative experience.
