It has done one thing though: it's revealed the soft bigotry of many members here who think we need their help because our race makes us less capable.I'm thankful to those here that I've interacted with on the forum and in person who treated me the same way they treat any other real estate investor and enthusiast.

When I went one by one down the repairs the inspection revealed needed fixed a year ago and asked the owner what work she had done, she revealed she hadn’t done any of it.  

Then, the reveal, Povich with his poker face until the final moment.

Curious what the decision process was like for you, and how it panned out.I didn't mate,Slammed with other ventures and ideas.I did pull the trigger on something else which is just crazy even thinking about it now hahaMight reveal to Bigger Pockets later on this year hahaThanks and much success.

No quicker had the issue of addressing me, and in my own hearing about my primary address been forgotten but now both the suit and the judge in near perfect harmony revealed some of their cards by addressing Hosts at large and how WE are the problem and how we collectively are contributing to the housing crisis.

Aloha,All of the "pieces" of their documentation do not fit together...addresses don't match up from one document to another, or shows up on a paystub but is not mentioned on their application; sometimes "aka's" can be revealing; they "don't trust banks", so savings is all cash, or gold, but they can "show you"; works for cash so has nothing verifiable; ANY time someone "needs to move by" a very short timeline; they feed you the application and supporting documents one at a time after multiple explanations of the process and send multiple emails or make multiple phone calls checking on progress; and giving you background info and extolling the fact "they always pay rent on time" in their initial email or phone call.

Their report could reveal things that would make you not want to move forward with them as tenants.After that if their only issue is low credit, I would then see what their income is and the only way I would even consider someone with lower credit is:1.

You reveal yourself as both dishonest and weak right off the bat.

Now they say because they were steam cleaned it's revealed a stench the steam cleaners say is in the pad under the carpet allegedly from a pet from the prior tenant.  

I buy “as is” and will only walk away after my inspection reveals a serious defect that I was not made aware of, that would make rehabbing cost prohibitive at the agreed purchase price.
