If you spread them out they are more likely to assume you have actually researched each of these on your own.There is a good chance if you are persistent you can get most if not all negatives removed.However, the bureaus are offering a fairly new product allowing creditors to see what your FICO "was" at intervals depending on what level of service they buy from the bureau.

After the meeting, he was persistent and followed up every month or so.

With rates at all-time lows, with patience and persistence, I believe this would be a successful strategy if i take a long-term approach.

You are not negligent in allowing your tenant to have a gun on the property, a pool, a bounce house or any other item usual and customarily located on a residential property.Your negligence comes about when, 1. you are aware of the condition and it is within your control, 2. you allow the condition to persist, 3. you failed to take prudent and reasonable courses of action to prevent harm.

Also a local police officer (I financed his rental) is a great source of abandoned or persistently vacant &/or deteriorating properties.

After much gentle persistence, four of the six siblings agreed to meet.
