They have continued to pay there rent in time, but claim that they can’t use the master bedroom because they get migraines and asthma flair ups when they go into it.

I think mostly because we have strikingly similar taste, so choosing finishes was a breeze.

We are looking for a duplex in Maryland for my DH to live in one side and to rent out the other side.I feel like I’m striking out.

It strikes me personally as funny, I am the owner and occupant of a 3 family in Manchester. 

@David Nunez while this strikes me a little strangely coming from a lender I would suggest posting this in the Illinois forum. 

I have always had the ability to strike up a conversation so I figured it wouldn't hurt to put myself out there and it has really paid off. 

Do you check comps to determine your strike price/use cash flow to determine value/other evaluation techniques?

You have to strike that right balance between minimizing profits on tax returns vs. making yourself look good for financing purposes. 

It would be hard to protect against a nuclear strike, so we'd need to operate at just the right amount of profitability and damage that it won't be worth the expense to jealous governments to send large nuclear payloads to Mars.

(I can hear it now, time is money, you have to strike why the irons hot, PLEASE).
