Thanks for your feedback.I'm not sure to follow the first point: Why can't we compare two investment vehicles (such as stocks and RE)?

In the lease I have with my tenants, we stipulate that each unit is authorized 2 vehicles per unit.

He replied with a expletive filled text that we better not touch his vehicles. 

The current owner have had it since the 50's and are tired of managing it as they are both in their 90's.

Secondly, many agents will get tired of this pretty quickly.

If they are not tire kickers, then I'll arrange to go see the property.After a property walk through, I'll call them with a verbal offer within 24 hours.

I would want to "kick the tires" so to speak.

Checkr accesses multiple data sources, including national criminal databases with millions of records, courthouses across all 3,200 counties in the United States, state sex offender registries, the Federal Court PACER system, and state Department of Motor Vehicles.

I have mentioned this many times before but what do you think would happen to the auto industry if all vehicles had to be paid for in cash like many foreign countries.. that's why there are so few cars in many of those countries.. and what would happen to private aviation where light aircraft enjoy 90% financing for 20 years at 4 to 6% interest and there are tax benefits but they start at 400 k  and light jets that start at 3 million or light turbo props at 2 million.. yet hundreds of these are sold each year .. all because of credit.and just like commercial airliners many are leased and those leasing companies are buy 50 million dollar or 100 million dollar planes with credit not cash then leasing them to the airline.s   bottom line credit freeze's we see what happened.
