That people exaggerate and should all be punished accordingly?  

multifamily deals are happening all the time here, granted not with those insane numbers....that specific 4plex you are mentioning, someone paid $2M for it a few months ago and just painted that place black it seems (exaggerating a bit, but not much), we will see if that adds $1.2M in value lol. 

I'd love to say I'm exaggerating just to make a point, but sadly, I really do encounter properties like that around here.

Many times, individuals can post things in frustration that are exaggerated, one sided or even untrue.

Just because you don't know who did it doesn't mean you don't report the police but for some reason they would always protect these people who maintained a garbage junk pile full of rats in their backyard…  people are gonna think I'm exaggerating or making this stuff up!

The importance of off market "deals" is exaggerated.

And Especially anything new coming to the area - such as a a google or amazon office for an exaggerated example (that means there will be many new jobs and increased income on the way)

Yes when the google bus stops sparked controversy when they spiked home values in the immediate area but these are rare cases and often EXAGGERATED BY THE MEDIA and LAY PERSON CONVERSATION TOPICS.

It literally might involve 3-4 hours on the telephone and I'm not exaggerating.

I'll go buy a new car on a whim" ok...so there's a bit of exaggeration
