Now, I want to go back to my acquaintances house and ask them to call their former neighbors in Germany and offer them 5k if they help me make the deal with the German owners.

Hey everyone,I've recently joined BP and just wanted to introduce myself.My names Evan and I'm a junior in college majoring in business and German, with a minor in Econ.My first goal is to purchase a 4 unit multi-family property in the greater Boston area at the end of 2019.My overall goal is to purchase 20 rental properties within 20 years (after my first).I plan on acquiring as much knowledge on RE as I can get my hands on, as well as meeting the right people to make deals with.

i have to disagree about baits, i have personally used FIPRONIL gel bait and had have roaches literally disappear. american roaches gone in 2 days, german roaches 1-2 week. i would at least give this stuff a try first. make sure it is .05% fipronil not .01% and its on ebay for about $8 a tube....for a 6 unit place you would only need 3 tubes...this stuff was recommended to me by an exterminator.

And you give a germane example which shows that we need to be cognizant of the possible repercussions.

My client is looking to live in the US... but work for (and obviously get paid by) a German business.   

These are not Germans or Japanese and they are not easily amenable to our way of thinking.

The dog he would like to rescue is a German Shepherd/ black lab mix, I was wondering what your opinion would be on a dog like this.

Heck...I guess ALL things that are not overtly stated in said document are not germane.

The Germans were able to get people to march right into concentration camps to be exterminated by the millions, with nary a fight.

I have been nothing but professional and courteous with her, as I enforced the rules of our written lease.On one hand, I think "I'm the professional" and should not dignify her conduct by responding at all, while the other side of me does not want to set a precedent where she can use me as a verbal punching bag during her residency.Another piece of information that might be germane is her unit it totally trashed (she has lived there for 10 years) and would take about $6k to turn it over.
