I am considering telling them no flat out but it is a long term tenant and would be open to some other creative solution.What would you do?

Pay attention to these and other indicators that give an insight into who the person is in addition to your minimum standards they must meet but flat out discriminating cause someone has kids will cause you to lose a whole lot more in the end... not worth it

If you're in the camp of struggling to find deals and not wanting to become a marketing expert here's what you should do.Network on Biggerpockets with all members in your area using Network - MembersDo the same at your local ReiaLet all of them know that you're happy to give them a # that works for you on anything they're looking atSupport/Encourage them (so many guys treat wholesalers with disdain and then try to get them to sell them deals)Check in often to remain top of their mindEven offer to run appointments with themReal Estate is a belly to belly business.

“before you do any, make sure you .......” wear flats instead of heels to look at properties.

@Frank Ma - Age, condition and mechanical details of the building and what that means for differed and future maintenance:  flat roofs, central chiller, age and condition of ac units, etc.What is the unit mix and is it appropriate for the area?

Other lenders may require a flat principal payment (say $100) plus interest. 

I'd like to hear other opinions on this...I'm debating if I should cash in on my 3 flat in downtown Wheaton, IL.  

As far as my tax bracket, I will probably gross around $80,000-$85,000 this year, but I do have a company 401k(traditional) with match that I contribute to, only 5% for the match and then an extra $5,000 flat for dependent care and another $1,000 towards an HSA.

Not because they are "flat". 

Flat out tell them you aren't the buyer.
