But read up on what other people are doing because you'll also want to negotiate the term (length) of the loan, how to work the note, etc.  

As @Joseph Firmin said, those don't sound like maintenance issues - stoves get dirty after being used, tubs not draining after a female using them, and preference for length of blinds are all not "maintenance" issues.

You should consider income, DTI, length of employment and of course past evictions as well.  

Why would someone find the need to submit an arm's length transaction?

Those numbers could be the following: annual vacancy rate, annual maintenance cost, percentage of residents that renew their first lease, length of resident stay, and number of properties under management. 

I think what's missing is by that time comes a lot of the liquidity people have to afford the house today(downpayment, job length, etc.) unravels.

Right now the clothes are running the length/depth of the closet.

If you live next to your tenant, or even if you don't, seems like you could be clear and tell them you are keeping an arms length business relationship.

The length of title seasoning will determine what the lender will base their leverage on.Best of luck!

@Reid SealbyThis will also not give you any real asset protection as it’s not an arms length transaction and your LLC for asset protection is supposed to act at arms length from you personally.
