You learn to pay attention when you loose a closing on a listing you have been working for half a year on because the lender is being stupid.

So the PM brought in this high risk tenants and they caused a smaller water damage a few weeks after they moved in due to loose washer hose. 

.- High Earnest Money Down- If you are experienced enough, remove contingencies - this would require that you close or else you loose earnest money.- Attach a letter of intent with your offer- Keep sourcing for other deals and do not depend solely on this one.

Also super important note - if you try and purchase two or more different 1-4s at the same time, tell your lenders and your realtors because it affects your pending capacity and you run the risk of loosing one or both of your deals if you don’t proactively share that info.

I have a friend who we'll loosely partner on it.

It is loosing about 200,000 people per year net.

Those will be the middle managers who loose their jobs.However they are building many $200-$300,000 houses any more....and the demand for those is high.   

What's loose lay?

I'm not sure if they are loosing there marbles and if I should step in and offer a difference of opinion or offer reassurance.

Loosing the house and you getting it may result in major anger directed your way.
