They could have freaked out and thrown a fit over seeing the mouse. 

I feel at an impasse due to having seen different angles of this issue/need/cashflow opportunity: as a landlord, former social worker for the State of Florida, and now as a realtor. 

The homeowner and realtor can agree on that list price or can modify it as they see fit. 

You're going to have to move both up, albeit property taxes in CO aren't bad but insurance needs to be fit for a house hack if you're going to have a bunch of tenants messing stuff up. 5% maintenance for a 5-member house hack is rather light. 

Talk to a lender and see what fits your needs best. 

The 30 year fixed rate loan would be a better fit for this purpose.You might be able to think of some other scenarios but hopefully this concept is good enough to know the difference between the two. 

I'll explain to them that this is for BOTH of our interests and gives us an opportunity to get to know one another and make sure we're a good fit together. 

Then see if your strategy fits those.

Shoot me a PM with your email and phone number so I can add you to my list of Huntsville buyers if I get anything that fits what you’re looking for!

There are a lot of multi-family buildings on the street, but I don't know if mine will fit within the 12.5% cap.
