Hi Nate,Just off the top of my head (without addressing your question directly).If you know what you want--have pics from the internet it will be easier than propose an idea, change, propose an idea, change etc.On screen artwork is much better than the old (and beautiful) (Mad Man Style) hand drawings.

If necessary, have an attorney review whatever paperwork or contract is the basis of their claim and determine your best course of action.

Determining that they are allowed is really only one aspect that you need to research.Good luck 

My lease states the tenant takes responsibility if the technician determines the tenant has abused or neglected the appliance.I know a few Landlords that shift responsibility to the tenants.

I have never rented a house before and looking for mentorship on contracts, picking a property manager, tenant screening, what to include with the house (lawn & pest management...etc) and how to determine the best cash flow.

Trying to determine best options.

When determining a buy down, most investors do what you already did; they determine how long to recoup the extra money down.If it's less than 36 months and the investment is a long term play, that's good.

@William ArringtonIf the first lender determined that your DTI would be too high since you don't yet have income for the new property, you could go the DSCR route.

I'm a little concerned about giving my information to someone over the internet and also making sure that what they are offering is what they can deliver on.

@Gloria Lucia let's look at a likely scenario that you might face out there to determine the best route.
