I share similar values/viewpoints and offer my prospective tenants the ability to contact past/current tenants (for references on ME, as a landlord) with 100% confidence that those references will be glowing because of a lot of what you said in your post!

I don't know Brian and he plays a very different real estate game then I do, but I have always appreciated his depth of knowledge and explanation of his viewpoint.

Friends, I always appreciate the viewpoints and diversity of views and experience that enter the recession discussion.  

I really appreciate your experience and viewpoint, Dennis!

I'm back on, and always happy to share "lessons learned" and different viewpoints on investing. 

Being so, we have been very creative in our viewpoint, mindset, and strategy.

Though you, like I, are experienced, one thing I learned very quickly on BP is that sometimes there are other investors that have a different viewpoint than we as agents, contractors, etc. have.

@James Stockton Thanks for you're viewpoint ! 

Another viewpoint in other competitive markets I've seen is that buyers' criteria loosen a bit when the market is hot and there's a shortage of deals.
