If one of these tenants thumbs their nose at you, then you screwed up in vetting, IMHO.

The US is 23 trillion in debt (on balance sheet), we are the largest debtor nation in the history of the world, the US has a wildly inflated standard of living because of the USD status as world reserve currency, the stock market is at nose bleed levels, and the bond market has 15 trillion in NEGATIVE yielding debt. 

Hold the mirror under your nose, fog up the mirror--you qualified.They would give 90% ltv with NO INCOME OR ASSET verification!   

Buy great locations and pay through the nose for them.4.

While the hoity- toity investors stick their nose up at the hood, you can buy a bunch of property with no money down.

But if you're aware of that and comfortable with it, you may have more luck finding a property you can afford without having to battle against 30-40 other buyers.depends on the Market the personal letters really work in the portland market.. the sellers are not so hard nosed and tend to be very caring if they are older owners that have lived in portlandia for any number of years.. just watch the TV show Portlandia its reality I know its a comedy but it is the way it is in that market.I can see in NY it being different as there is a thought process that new yorkers are more matter of fact.. 

That's like blaming the flu you contracted on your currently running nose and fever.

They'll be able to bring in their moisture detectors and their trained eyes (and nose) to figure out exactly where the problem is coming from and then tell you how to fix it.

It is the equivalent of telling someone ¨its not a Kleenex, it's a facial tissue and when you say Kleenex, I know you must not know much about blowing your nose¨  People use Airbnb as a stand in word for STR. 

get down off your horse your nose is bleeding
