If one person is more worried about budget, and the other is more worried about quality, this can lead to argument. 

I can also get a Home Equity Loan from Better Mortgage for another $70k and then sell which would reduce the taxable amount to about $130kCurious on thoughts from others if you would prefer to try and rent it out again or sell and allocate the money elsewhere. 

I provide huge value to them by delivering a product for their clients, and they provide huge value to me since I get more eyes into the property that I'm selling and am favored from an already built-in relationship and trust between the agent and buyer.

Still, to me (with limited knowledge), this seems like a great deal and I should at least cultivate this relationship going forward (while self managing). what do y’all think?

How do I decline replacing it and keep a good relationship? 

There is current negative cashflow at the listing price, little potential for upside, a significantly reduced offer price is required just to break-even or significant rent increases and utility decreases.

I've you've already used $315k, you have $451,550 left.https://www.veteransunited.com/education/tools/va-loan-limit...Even though $515k>$451k, You CAN still use your VA loan on this duplex (and I highly recommend it).

Typically, lower quality tenants are harder on units.  

The lender is an individual, private and has great relationship with the borrower + borrower has a lot of experience2.

Currently under contract for a large off-market residential property.Quick details: 4,200+ sqft 12bed / 5bath (2 kitchens) (No a flood zone)(Light - Medium rehab / rent-by-the-room play)My partner has been a PM in this community for 20+ years and is highly confident in this deal (as am I).The current issue is, we aren't confident the property can close with a bank due to a few seller complications.( ^Very long story, but if you want to hear it I will tell you haha)We're looking to over-raise about $335k ($255k purchase and $80k for the rehab).But we (and our contractors) know the rehab portion will come in a bit lower.Can anyone point me in the right direction?
