@Amy A.Their technology is improving, but they've never sent out forms automatically, and they would never send them directly to the buyer. 

I agree with you: you should aspire to a much better CoC if you're putting $240k to work.By lending you 75%, the bank ends up making double the amount of dollars, while sitting on on the sidelines just waiting to pounce the moment you run into cash flow difficulties.

My realtor and I had difficulty as not a lot of properties have sold in this area at this price range.

I've spent most of my career working in Information Technology but am currently transitioning to a Full Time career as a Realtor.  

I know folks having difficulty renting a 3/2 at $2,200 per month in a great neighborhood with great schools.

I wouldn't expect 14% continued appreciation any more than I'd continue to expect 9% annual rental growth.Projecting the future is quite difficult.  I

I agree with @Mike Cumbie about the difficulty of listing a property at a distance on your own; however, it is not impossible.
