@Jonathan Polanski The agent might be trying to buy for himself (conflict of interest), trying to keep the entire commission (horrible business practice), has had a bad past experience with your agent (unlikely but possible) or has a preferred investor lined up. 

@Bob Prisco, this is very nice of you to offer to help Amy out of this horrible situation. 

I go to Hawaii every year and I've had some awful experiences with horrible filthy airbnbs.

I have not seen the listing but there are nice presentations on the MLS and horrible ones.

But I'd like to run the numbers in the scenario as I move out after 2 years living there to check the cashflow- Financing: owner occupied conventional loan - Downpayment: 5% - Interest rate: 4% - Loan period: 30 years (fixed) - Vacancy of 5%, Repairs of 5%, Capex of 5%, and PM of 10% - I assume I can get 10% discount based on how long it's been on the market (purchase price of $719,100) - I used Realtor.com from the link and based on purchase price of $719,100 it gives me prop tax of $749- I relied on the listing agent data of $92 per month for home insurance - I relied on the listing agent data of $112.50 per month for water, $112.50 for sewage, $95 for garbage, and $60 for lawn care (assuming the tenants pay for their own electricity and gas) - I left PMI to be 0 since I do not know how to calculate this Result: Based on assumptions and MLS listing, this property cashflow -$1,280.00 (aka, a horrible investment).

That seems like a horrible idea, you are going to reduce your minimal fee of $10 to $5 and make less money? 

Now he's claiming I should only make them replace the glass and the latticework (basically repair the door) and I am not opposed to this, IF it can be done and I told them that.They're just making me feel unreasonable and I know that's what people do, they try to justify their horrible behavior, but it's really starting to make me sick (literally) with anxiety.

Has anyone jumped ship from their 9-5 and realized it was a horrible mistake or think they could have held onto a W2 for a little longer?

This is horrible tax rate planning. 

I have had to deal with 3 managers and one maintenance guy about how horrible the condition of this property is.
