I would be more confortable doing that too.

I applaud you for being willing to give up on some confort for getting into a stronger financial position and to be able to reach your long term goals. 

No, I am not friends with my tenants, but I am certainly friendly.One way to think about it is why would I be willing to rent to somebody that I wasn't confortable with knowing my name and home? 

maybe  cross colaterilization might make the lenders  more confortable

I'm looking for an agent who preferably has worked in the market for over 12 months, has experience working with investors, and is confortable and willing to work with an out of State investor. 

A rental payment is confortable for me at $!

Very true although in my experience, attempting to ask or do anything when agents are involved that is creative, out of their confort zone, different, etc. will usually result in a "NO", but again, it shouldn't hurt to ask.Originally posted by Mark Brian:Just because you do not get your way on a deal, does not mean an agent did something wrong or is an idiot or did not present your offer.

All of those boxes should be checked to get you confortable with relatively safe, stable first investment for you as you become acclimated to the business. 

Although it may cost me a bit more  I feel more confortable giving the job to the second  company.

Im thinking of buying this house which will cost me around 80k giving 10% down- this house it’s already not confortable for my family and will have to buy another house in a most 3 years.
