Stick with Hyatt and Marriott and you stand a much better chance of exit as they are the Darlings of Wall Street. 

I am aware of California Civil Codes relating to end of tenancy, but I stand corrected in referencing Civil Code 789.

There are lenders that will do this although the pool may be smaller and the loan details not as nice as the conventional or FHA options, but its more important to get started than to let a few bucks stand in the way.

What will make me stand out and have integrity with a potential private lender?

This knowledge helps you secure the deal, where those without it, stand no chance.

I'm sure your CL ads read a bit differently than @Paul Sandhu 's, but it's the attention to detail and the accuracy that stand out to the renter.Continued success!

I can speak to this from more than a personal stand point. 

Personally I would find a new one because like you I can't stand to be nickel and dime.

Just from a liability stand point, and the fact you shouldn't have to do it, get the seller to do it professionally done or at least professionally inspected with an inspection report.As for venting your attic that is a very easy job.

It'll make your signs stand out.
