Thanks for everybody's suggestions/comments,

I think I should continue to maintain my policy to avoid Section 8 to have more freedom, to have more self-maintained handyman/contractor family so that I can be peace in mind. Also normal family will treat the house well.

For this particular case, I think for the sake of immediate profit, I will lean to take them subject to my interview results and credit report items.

The seller is very good people. It is a pleasant experience for this purchase. If I have more money, I really want to take the seller's primary residence. It's gorgous, but very very discounted price comparing with the peak (not on market though). I even think whether I should take it over as my primary residence so that I can raise few horses there for each of my family members. The rent cannot match up with the house price, but the agent told me I can rent the horse places (not sure the English) to earn more to keep the net-income flat. Want to find time to visit them to see whether it can move my heart.

Still there are a lot of good deals ahead, but still buried yet.

Have a good weekend,

Gu-shi
