I don't know your laws, but in my state I would have 0 confidence that that tenant would move on at the expiration of the lease, she just did you a huge favor.

Applicants NOT meeting the above criteria may be approved with an increased Security Deposit, at the discretion of the Landlord.

I believe you can increase rent at anytime with 30 day notice (in AZ we can).

I don’t know that I want to appeal anything, but I’m not thrilled about the estimated tax increase.

So if we used your 30k example, and the tax rate is around 2.8% then your increase in tax is $840.

I went back in and changed the following: - Added my acquisition financing amortization time- Increased my closing costs for the acquisition loan - Changed my purchase price to $60k to reach the target LTV you mentioned in #3- I also added in monthly holding costs which I totally spaced.

Somehow the spot will absorb and increase the heat.

We really want to get some confidence in the process, but we have no idea where to start, or how to market the property once its done. 

Analysis over time - everything just increases 1% each year?)

If you're trying to get a conventional Fannie/Freddie loan asking another bank won't help.Your issue is they cut off at 45-50% max DTI and you are currently at 65%.You need to get rid of some debt, increase income, get a co-signer or look for non-conventional lenders.
