Considering all being equal, which would be unheard of, I would base my choice on the personal interviews.

The "2% rule" is practically unheard of (cashflow is moderate), but appreciation has remained fairly strong/stable in many parts of town even throughout the housing crash.I'm actually going back to Cedar Rapids and Ames over the holidays to visit family and try to sniff out any more deals.

It's a lot, but it's not unheard of.

I would offer maybe 2k over ask and instead of a what was common in those days in Oregon  ( very small EM) i would sent in 10k in EM  and I got the deals 99% of the time.. it was just unheard of in 1992 to pay over ask.. 

And I believe you are right in that a large part of the population that voted for BO are realizing they've been lied to (as if this is an unheard of phenomenon for a politician).

Such a thing is practically unheard of in subprime lending.

Unheard of in So Cal.

Most tenants stay 2-3 years on average (however 10+ is not unheard of) and we usually have a 30day or less down time between tenants. 

You have to shop for a while and visit some properties but it’s not unheard of. 

This means I will need to collect $4,000 - $5,000 in rent which is unheard of here.
