Study the deals that are presented to you and pattern your real estate transactions on the ones that make sense and money for you.

Typically the only way to prove that it is criminal is if the damage looks systematic ie hammer holes every two feet in a pattern.

(Don’t think that this will help every time, though, because some of the less scrupulous neighbors will see the pattern and take advantage.)

I think you likely have a leg up on the investing business simply due to the thinking pattern that is required of you in your profession.

This means that, once again, a attempt to use disparate impact evidence to establish that a lender engaged in a “pattern or practice” of intentional discrimination will not be tested in court.The amended complaint alleged that there was a “statistically significant” disparity between the way the seller financier charged Asian and non­?

The tenant always pays, communicates, takes good care of the property, and I wouldn't consider serving a Pay or Quit unless the lateness rolls further into the month and he starts to fall behind.A former tenant was constantly late, was nearly evicted, paid up in full, was on the straight and narrow for about 6 months, then started the same pattern - late by a couple of weeks, then got behind.

Once you learn these patterns and learn how to effectively handle them, you'll become a much better salesperson and will close more deals.

Too many crazy weather patterns in this world for me to be comfortable with that.

The key for me has been consistency because there is no solid pattern on when a bank will open at a low amount.  

I am not an lawyer (and I do not play one on TV ;-)) but I went looking on masslegalhelp.org and found this nugget on Federal public housing:Federal public housingIf you are applying for federal public housing, a housing authority  must deny your application if it finds that:A household member is currently engaged in illegal use of a drug, or the  Housing Authority has reasonable cause to believe a household member's illegal  use of a drug or pattern of illegal use of a drug may threaten the health,  safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.1 The Housing Authority has reasonable cause to believe that a household  member's abuse or pattern of abuse of alcohol may threaten the health, safety,  or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.2   Importantbefore denying a person housing based on illegal drug use or alcohol  abuse, a housing authority may consider evidence of rehabilitation3.Any member of your household is subject to a lifetime registration  requirement under a state sex offender registration program.4 Any household member has been convicted of the manufacture or production of  methamphetamine in federally assisted housing.5 Any household member has been evicted from federally assisted housing for  drug-related criminal activity within the past three  years.6   ImportantA housing authority can also let your household in if the person who  engaged in the drug-related criminal activity has  successfully completed a supervised, approved rehabilitation program, or if the  circumstances leading to the eviction no longer exist—for example, the household  member has died or is in jail.7 In addition to the automatic denials listed above, a housing authority  may deny applicants "whose habits and practices reasonably may  be expected to have a detrimental effect on the residents or the project  environment."8 This means that a housing  authority has wide discretion over whom it allows  into its federal public housing programs.
