This is purely a matter of conforming to someone’s belief.

Well, my answer about the color would be "red" or "brown" or "yellow," because of the brick, you see...Vince, if you and other like you keep on ignoring the "real" in "real estate," and focus on financial metrics in the uninterrogated belief that House A is just as good an investment as House B as long as the numbers are roughly similar (and maybe the property inspector you hire doesn't loudly tell you not to buy it), you're going to bleed money in the long run.

@Michael Kay I used to believe this too, but experienced has changed my beliefs, as expected.

Please take this as constructive criticism, but your post is full of limiting beliefs, with this being the biggest "I don't have the time to commit to a rehab until all my kids are in school (4 more years)."

Despite calling it "School Ratings".None of them teach anything of useful future value to anyone beyond basic reading and basic math.The ratings you are referring to is how well the students at a particular school behave and how well they do "Exactly" what they are told by the teachers, and the students smartness level at a particular school.There are a lot of political issues surrounding the American School System, with different beliefs about it by different groups of people.Does it effect desirability of homes, yes it does for a variety of different reasons for different groups of people.Just my 2 cents.Good Luck!

After that, if you come to the conclusion that for some nefarious reason the CDC and by extension USAMRID is full of bulls*** about the risks of mold, well, you're entitled to your own beliefs.

This subject is very near and dear to my heart, and I approach it much as Jill does.I think that at the heart of all of us there is a core belief, albeit a quiet one, that we are just not good enough.

Most investors do the opposite, but the very best investors apply this concept religiously.  

General race relations in the United States and other issues that don't directly relate to real estate discussions will be removed, just as will political discussions, religious discussions, and other sensitive issues that don't directly deal with real estate.
