Like not being able to say the house is a split-level or a bungalow or craftsman.By not being able to say a neighborhood is quiet or rough, it leaves the consumers (that the 'law' is meant to protect) more in the dark.

@Trenton MillerDepends on whether your target is regular consumers or investors.

All the time we hear from consumers that they think we misrepresented the size and we just put it back on the government.

Just keeping a promise I made to the Almighty in 2007 when I said,  "Please Please Please get me out of this one deal and I promise I'll spread the gospel of low debt forever more" :)   

We plan to live in this house another 3-7 years but will most likely keep it forever as a rental.

Basically the market is forever changing but there are various ways to succeed if you put in the work. 

I do believe not everyone should be on the that list forever but some do and  some 6 ft under. 

This is a more time consuming process because time and work needs to be done to fix up the home and money needs to be invested into rehabbing. 

And that's probably to do with it being customary vs actually that time consuming...
