If not, that’s another story) No smoke and no mirrors.

They are even featured in articles, have been profiled and interviewed in the local media outlets, look really good online etc. and have a reputation around town as being highly successful because they have been busy buying a lot of units and making themselves look successful even while doing what I would consider very bad deals.It's smoke and mirrors. 

The guy on the internet has no clue/smoking crack/selling you something/all the above.Dale, there is no "Agreement between the NAR and the banks".

Holy smokes, I just checked out your website with the neighborhood ratings.

I found out that was all smoke and mirrors.

As the saying goes, when there's smoke, there is fire.I trust that you won't take these remarks as condescending since we've already been in contact with each other.

If they say put up higher railings, additional smoke detectors, etc, complete it promptly and document it.I've been in the landlord business for 20 years, and I've always kept my properties to code and well maintained.
