Paul Smythe Don't overthink it, pretend you're a vacationer and look on each site.

They pretend (to themselves and others) that soon someone will save their bacon and come to their rescue.

For instance: One of mine lends me what I need at 8% interest for 5-30 yrs, interest only and I pay them 4% every 6 months.If your "private lender" wants points and credit checks and all this other stuff -- they aren't a private lender - they are a hard money lender pretending to be a private money lender (this happens ALL THE TIME). 

What you can do is call the city and pretended you’re a curious neighbor about another (fictitious) property with an inlaw nearby.

But to pretend these risks do not exist at all, is "short sighted" as Mike says above.

We’ll also pretend inflation was only 3%.

Banks would definitely sell to unload s**t from their balancesheet in order to look prettier to shareholder's and the ECB's eyes, but would focus only on massive transactions.SAREB, which is not a bank, is not really interested in selling these properties despite the effort on pretending the opposite.

I understand some of the struggles, but don't pretend to relate on all levels.

Maybe your friend is a trucker who crys about home time and needs to be home every weekend then crys he doesn't make enough cash to the company but pretends to his friends he is rich.

Honestly ill pretend for a minute that the Director (excise and license) sits upon the Supreme Court Artifice of STR and was duly elected to interpret city regulations as law.
