No one is saying severely disabled folks who **can’t** work should be forced into labor camps so Why the Lame virtue signaling ?

We are a bunch of financial people chiming in on a psychology question...and what material stuff means to our identities, extension of ourselves, signaling to others, belonging, memories, etc.

I have extensive experience with 37 Signals' Highrise (cheap, fast to implement, fast learning curve) but have also looked at Salesforce and heard good things about open source programs like Sugar. 4 - The necessity of working together in the same office vs virtual operations.

Housing prices being down was a strong "buy" signal.

It's called CONSOLIDATION, and it's a GREAT sign and signal for INCREASED pricing.

Weekly rent signals, to me at least, a tenant class that is either transient or has cash flow problems, self imposed or not, that they can't or won't pay monthly.

I would also like to see how the tool performs in this period of "correction" (when there is a flurry of indicators/articles/opinions pointing to a slowdown/correction/downturn) and validate its signals so I can trust it when the upswing happens and the buying should happen. 

hi matt. i have had some experience with hubzu, none of it good. i bid on a property, the only bidder. my bid did not meet the reserve so they countered my offer with an offer $8000 above my offer. i accepted. thats where the trouble started. i immediately got an email from hubzu confirming the offer and was told i had 2 days to sign all the paperwork and get it and the earnest funds back to them. the problem is, they never emailed the paperwork with the email. i went thru hell just to get them to email these to me, after several emails from them telling me that they were going to cancel the sale and relist the house if i did not meet their demands. i called them directly only to be sent to some clearing house in india that handles their work for them. it made matters worse that the people i was trying to speak to there could not be understood due to their strong accent. i finally had to ask to speak to a manage, who had an even worse accent. i hire an attorney to deal with this. after several attempts to get them to understand that they now had to deal only with my attorney, they finally got the picture to deal with just him. we finally got all the necessary paperwork from them to close, after several more threats to cancel the deal. we filled out all the paperwork and faxed it back to them only to have them tell us that they received only 1/2 of the pages, not once, not twice but 3 times. they received 1/2 of the paperwork 3 times??????

I think there are several different things going on here:1) Long term tenant paying under market rent2) Prior owner/manager's reluctance to increase rent and the implications and bad signal this sends to a tenant3) Excessive storage-turned-hoarding and how it affect other tenants4) Cost of renovating empty unit and lost rent if you lose a good paying tenant.Consider hardball vs softball tactics and what's best for your style.

If the sale price is over 10% less than the CMA, then you have an exit, which is the first strong signal that the deal is worth considering.
