Hello BP'ers-@Jason Smith  You are on the right track.

You're on the right track with the higher bedroom count since it can give you additional ways to rent the place other than just a single lease if things get tight. 

Could someone review let me know if i'm on the right track?

It will probably take them some time to track down new mortgage owner if no assignment was recorded. 

Eric, you're on the right track.
