I spoke to a senior loan officer and was disappointed in the level of service and knowledge.

@Joseph Norman I'll start doing a little research into Baltimore outskirt areas, and @Tom Ott thanks for your thoughts on Cleveland.I was looking for some ideas on areas to do some research on and BP didn't disappoint.

I just sent her a text asking for an explanation and expressing my disappointment.

Give him a shout as I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Two nearly universal truths about tenants: none of them are as clean as you are in your own house, and you will be habitually disappointed in them if you use your home's standard as the benchmark to which they should aspire. 

Its very disappointing to have spent 8-10 years working to build something only to basically break even.

I am also looking at Port A and had inquired about a couple of properties I found on MLS and was pretty disappointed when the listing agents emailed me the net income numbers.

If you try to make a property or the area its located in look more appealing than it is, your buyer will eventually be disappointed.

Who was it that said "tenants expect rent raises, Don't disappoint them" ?

- no disappointments - seller financing will increase your net equity in real estate more than anything in the world.
