Im in Utah too and still haven't pulled the trigger, so this did my heart good

I don't really need to hear from the cold-hearted, non-animal loving people that will say horrible things like, "Who cares?

(Love the last name).I am more than happy to help you with anything everything your little heart desires.

Whew, you have a lot of frustration and rage in your heart.  

I'll probably lose them as tenants at the end of their lease if I don't allow it as their hearts seem to be set on it.

At the risk of prolonging a discussion which is at its natural end, please  understand  that  for the same reasons at the heart of  JD's so-called, 'no-data' analysis and argument - Donald Trump is now President of the United States and Hillary Clinton is not.  

You seem to be taking this a little light hearted considering people might be out a ton of money.

I'm still renting a room as a primary residence but really, with all my heart, want to house hack.

Christan or non religious alike you can not be a bad steward of your money.I won't bore you with the numerous times I have counted on renters or buyers and even sellers to treat me with the same respect they demand but because I'm a cold hearted investor some how it's OK to lie renegociate disregard contracts not keep time lines you name it I have delt with it.  

One who has your interests at heart.
