The concerns from sellers (and their agents) primarily stem from two places:The Appraisal "Stickiness": As you mentioned, the FHA appraisal is stricter on property condition (peeling paint, safety issues, etc.) and it's assigned to the property for 6 months.

Account Closed money for Argentina, tax cuts for the rich, refurbishing new planes from international governments, hiring masked agents to harass the public, buying bombs and bullets... but not enough money to provide decent healthcare or education.

Underneath all the masks we've been assigned or we've assigned ourselves.

What it did do is increase fraud since financial discontinuities create opportunity for fraud and rising prices mask it.

I dont think you have to be hard on yourself on not having done enough homework to have prescreened this person, people are good at masking this stuff. 

As we started peeling back the layers in those areas more termite damage showed itself.

I do have a direct booking site (and yes, very tempted to steer people that way but I do not want to jeopardize our relationships, etc. with the major platforms which understandably, control the communication channels- and yes, I'm looking at you Airbnb now that you're not even allowing access to guests' or hosts' phone numbers except via a mask!).

The only difference is that up until recently it's been masked by one of the greatest real estate manias in American history.These people are not real estate people.

Many “free” or bundled platforms mask key identifiers, which limits your ability to verify identity or pursue recovery later.When screening, think of it as your first line of defense against rental risk, not just a box to check.

I think you would have to even given selling implications but you might not qualify anyways under previous pointsA lot here so as usual depends on “peeling” back everything based on the facts and circumstances and really walking through your scenario.
