I would also specify what size/weight the mount can support and make them acknowledge that they are responsible for any damage to the TV if using the mount you installed.  

I consulted with an attorney that confirmed that and we were going to send him a demand letter, but he ended up just releasing the funds before hand.another point is to work with a better realtor + title company. they were not on the deal in terms of dates and no one (including me) paid attention to the important dates, kind of a beginner mistakes but i had some issues in my personal life that took my attention from that and i did expect the 'professionals' on the deal to be more on top of these dates , but i take responsibility for that as well. i just wont use either of them in the future.Hope that'll help anyone else as well thats why i shared this info, and again thanks everybody for the support, both the mental and technical one.Appreciate yall and happy holidays.

Absolutely appreciate the support!

Financially I don't think my debt to income ratio would be low enough to support both being my residence and not a rental property.

I suggest comparing markets and see which market supports your goals better and investing there.

Banks can do this because they have millions out and they support the community but private for profit small lenders no way they can do these and keep the rates the same as when they are doing 300k loans at 2 pionts and bringing in 6k in fee's plus junk fees.. its the exact same time effort and paper work to do a 50k loan as a 300k loan or a 1 mil loan. or a 15k loan.  

Dave has a very good market update on BP's YT channel, but of course it's national. 

---So, insist on them providing the rental application and supporting docs for your review.

If you are looking to sell to the end investor make sure you can defend and provide data to support your evaluations. 

And I thought I'd make a post about my journey so far, because I am proud of the progress that has been done (in real estate leaning and mindset), thanks to the BP RE podcast, performance coaching and many people who have helped me (in these forums, a Slack channel and so many others).
