When you are in the MLS back end, they have agent remarks, which can shine a little light on why that specific property went for the price it did, or lasted the amount of time it did (i.e. house doesn't have proper CO's, cash buyer needed, check agent commission splits and bonuses offered, etc.)

Do you really believe your remarks are helping me?

What I'm referring to is that if you buy a property in all cash with say a 7% Cap Rate that money that money is better invested somewhere else if we're talking return.What makes real estate such a remarkable investment is the leverage that you can use to achieve very good cash on cash returns.

As I see it, not only did the landlord present a "chilling effect" to the applicants by remarks he made, but he denied them based on his assumption that one of the parties would not be able to understand and enter into the legal contract necessary for renting the house.It is not necessary to translate the lease/rental agreement into the native language of the person with LEP (limited English proficiency.)

Unkind?

As the mutual fund guys like to say, the past is no guarantee of future success but the resilience of this area has been remarkable. 

s remarks in this thread.

It seems like you are letting the offensive remarks bother you (you had nightmares and you don't deserve that).

Who really cares if the Germans think we are unkind to our poor .. these are the same folks that stuffed millions Of men women and children into gas chambers To die horrific deaths  .

I am fully aligned with your remarks and proposed approach.
