My pretty aggressive cpa shot this idea down as I don’t declare my primary home interest (it’s less than the standard married deduction.) if this was argued/allowed you could declare any loan on your primary was really on a rental.

So, I'd like to at least reset the baseline and make it absolutely clear.One thing worth adding: They're running a business in there, any I wouldn't necessarily put it past them to try to blame me for damages they've started to cause over the long term (before my lease took hold) hurting their business.What are some standard ways to deal with this?

Without the appraisal matching or exceeding the offer, standard financing is not available. 

Then you've got portfolio lenders that don't necessarily conform to Fannie Freddie underwriting standards but to the guarantor's credit and the property's cash flow. 

I couldn’t just transfer money between my accounts but has to make international wires.

With any small claims action in Texas, my standard answer is you will not. 

They said this is standard among most lenders because Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac have set those rules.

Homeownership may be one step closer than you think if you spend your dollars wisely this year.Based on data released by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Americans can expect an estimated average refund of $2,962 when filing their taxes this year.According to programs from the Federal Housing Authority, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae, many first-time buyers can purchase a home with as little as 3% down.

That may be what it takes to stop having your interns, new hires,etc call me!

Internal bank mortgages (those not sold by the bank) allow me to get a loan at a variable rate (not fixed) and I am okay with that.
