Forced “partnerships” just have a very high probability of failure.The first thing I’d do is check out the buyers personal financial statement.  

You'll need to just get the work done and I highly recommend NOT arguing with the appraiser over it. 

According to Experian "78% of U.S. consumers' FICO® Scores are higher than 620." 620 is objectively a very bad credit score with a high probability of delinquency.For my rentals, 700 is the minimum and any applicant with lower credit score will need someone else to serve as a personal guarantor.

Interest rates and high purchase prices are pushing a lot of people away from buying.

I suppose if that LO wanted to play by the rules and tell whoever needed to know, they could have ended up calling the loan, but seems highly unlikely that this would happen especially if you are making your payments on time. 

In the meantime, I highly recommend "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

Hey @Tom Pubins - I would highly suggest using www.hemlane.com they syndicate to many different sites and have a very clean platform to manage tenant screening. 

Your realtor friend is telling you the truth, for I work in the Gwinnett area for the high paying careers are further North of the city but I am a resident of the Dekalb area.

Now that I am going into the high season im trying to figure out how high to push my prices without staying vacant.

Hoping to get a pulse on where North Portland rents currently are and where we think they are headed with the way the city is regulating landlords and how Portland is on a slight population downturn.
