He said they seemed to be operating from an voice-over-internet phone, had an African accent, requested a $1500 up-front fee deposited to a personal account and didn't know how to answer the question of points charged for the loan.For me, it's safe to say, I'm avoiding them.

I am a 19 year old African american male from Brooklyn, New York.

@Taylor L.Thanks very much for your response.Quite closely related to SA Property Investors Network and I would certainly advise anyone in or visiting SA to go to one of there events and meet ups.I was hoping there may be some people out there that I haven’t met at the meet ups who could be on BIggerPocketsAny South Africans keen to meet or Skype in?

@Jeremy A.Your question in Maine is like asking:How do I screen against Gay peopleHow do I screen against ChristiansHow do I screen against people born in Mexico How do I screen against African Americans if they apply online.If you feel it is the community that responded to you wrong, I suggest you look at what you asked.

They asked that I mediate the situation which i did.In the meeting she voiced that she was being picked on because of her race and gender (african american female), DESPITE the other two tenants also being african american females.
