But, I'm curious about the BP constituency's reaction to this.

My first reaction was, no big deal, a guy with that much cash will be playing with much larger and more expensive properties...

However; schizophrenics, and especially paranoid schizophrenics are one of the few that can be prone to delusions, paranoia, and dangerous reactions.

Why is the knee jerk reaction always that the contractor wants too much money?

We could no longer raise our rents more than 3% per year.We did EXACTLY opposite of what would have been the right reaction.

I'd love to see a statistical model that examines market reaction on the days Obama talks . . .

Deprogramme the guru mindset by teaching RESPONSIBILITY for all actions and reactions and reactions.

If your area is a really hot rental market then you maybe shouldn't worry too much about their reaction, unless it suits you better to have the stable income in the beginning after paying a down payment (whatever your situation may be).

@Bryan Pham - my initial reaction is that you are outnumbered in the deal.

I thought it sounded a little strange, and so I think it's best to remove it from your reactions!
