Included in the plan are support services and an individualized schedule for cleanup and inspections.So landlords I guess will have to find some free time for "support services and scheduled inspections".

I personally would try 21K with 7K down 5% with a 7 yr term(assuming with such a low amount this is also the amortization schedule) and your credit report(this would be a non-negotiable deal killer if I was the seller).Hope you can work this out somehow that will be good for you.

Steve:Sorry I did not get to this last evening as I committed ... it slipped my mind.In our neck of the woods, we have a standard government lease (called Form 6) which, while it is not obligatory we use it, any lease you draw-up yourself cannot deviate or contradict the standard lease ... so most folks use it.The standard lease allows the landlord to attach their own Schedules to the lease ... most notably Schedule A - Additions to the Standard Lease ... this is where your "house rules" are to be found.In our Schedule A, we have a section on Alterations to Rental Property which contains the following clauses:1.The Tenant agrees to use only putty, tacks, pins or finish nails but not stickers or tape as picture hangers. 2.The tenant agrees not to make any additions, changes or alterations to the rental property without prior written permission of the Landlord.

This makes perfect scheduling very hard to do.
