I'm always about laying out all the best options my customer has in front of them, have them make the best decisions for their circumstances and then go forward from there. 

In all but extraordinary circumstances, this is a great option.

It is part of Airbnb's extenuating circumstances policy.

This should be fun.Here are some thoughts:1) Wage Growth is strong, has been strong, and we are nearing all-time REAL wage highs (adjusted for inflation): Real median wages have been increasing on average over the past 10 years. ....10 years is a grain of sand on the beach.It used to be ANY average man could get a (40 hour a week) W2 job that paid enough to own a house, own a car, have 8 kids and wife who did not work outside the home, be able to live comfortably, and  save for a rainy day (with no credit cards) and have a retirement pension.Now today, are there jobs like this widely available for Men (or Women)?

Obviously it won’t make sense in some circumstances, but if you have a single family with a yard, it’s a win win.

Over the years, my life circumstances have changed and I've moved to the Puget Sound area (about 1-1.5 hours from Seattle).   

Ex:  "Two Chicks Investments"  (owned by 2 women) leaves a cute little 2 bird decoration at each house they sell. 

If I move out of the area, I'll either sell or hire property management, depending on life circumstances at that point in time.Traditionally when buying a SFH the wisdom is to not buy unless you plan to own the house for 5-10 years due to selling costs and equity gain from paying the loan.

However, if you are a commissioned employee, you will need at least 1 year of history receiving commissions, and if you are self-employed, you will generally need at least 2 years to consider that income (though there can be exceptions where you don't need a full 2 years in certain circumstances).

So, yes I would anticipate, under current circumstances, the owner might want some assurances before locking the property up in a contract."
