I have done another Fannie Mae deal in 2012 which fell apart due to a title issue on the day prior to closing, and the listing agent then didn't object to me listing out items included with the sale.

Hello Seth, What its your ultimate objective?

Based on those concrete numbers, you can then make a more objective decision.

It is up to the individual buyer to objectively weigh ALL of the factors including mortgage costs and interest, alternate investment returns, tax consideration, amount of time needed to implement and manage the decisions and personal investment goals.

As we made improvements, we slowly raised the rents in a manner to keep the units affordable and to meet our income objectives.
