Could be a cultural difference that is a habit back home.

During my day job, which prevents me from actively starting a project until April 15th, I ran across a potential rehab lead which is OFF THE MARKET.

I ran free classes that only required people to learn the basic skills by meeting once a week for about 3 months. 95% of the students failed to study.

Like you, i ran into bad tenants because I could not prescreen them in person prior to them staying at my residence.

I ran a check on one of my prospects for the office space and the service returned as 'Decline' because of a criminal record on file that happened 22 years ago for possession of a control substance.What would you do in this case, for a residential customer I would have simply declined , but for a office space , with small enough rent, should I take a risk of rent it to him?

When I moved into my new house, I ran a sprinkler system every couple hours on the whole lawn for weeks and my bill wasn't even that high.

When interviewing your potential brokers, I would make sure to look for if they are giving you any specific hours you might have to follow just to understand the vibe and culture that they are giving off.

I ran a 5 star Airbnb inside my 1.5 bed apartment in Long Beach with guests in a bunk bed and one on the couch.

Honestly, it is difficult for some international immigrants to move out of the Bay Area due to the conveniences that the location offers to them including international grocery stores and friends and family networks for cultural similarities.
