I have USAA insurance and could receive a loan via them, I am a life-long chase bank patron and have almost all lines of my credit open through them.  

Nice to see another Indy patron on here.

Easy to learn in the sense that those that patron this sight are looking to learn, share and establish relationships.

Some Realtors have a patronizing attitude to property owners assuming that the owner doesn't know anything and doing things like refusing to give the owner enough information to screen while not screening prospects either.  

My first post :) I'm new to REI and followed the shiny into buying ($390) and attending a goofy 3-day workshop (currently sitting in Day 2 in Danvers, MA) on tax lien buying by TAX LIEN WEALTH BUILDERS, previously known as UNITED TAX LIENS, founded by Jay Drexel, who also built MarketPlacePro.It's been almost useless, a giant patronizing waste of time (as @John Underwood and @Ned Carey has driven home - don't pay for education you could obtain more quickly and thoroughly on the googs or through networking), but an interesting exercise in appreciating their polished presentations, sales strategies, and trying to understand what these people's actual business model is by reading between the lines of all the shiny idealized and exaggerated examples of rapid wealth generation.

-Speak slower and clearer (not in a patronizing way, but some people speak faster than others and when it's a second language it is harder to process.)

If you are an uber wealthy patron who wants a 'statement' building it's not so important but if you are a business person who wants an income property that actually throws off income it is important.3rd How 'buildable' are their designs?

I think I used to patronize a place called New York.

After initially typing two paragraphs of a response that was so fundamental that it seemed patronizing, I started to question the validity of the question posed in the first place.  

A rooming house works well when near a university as you can furnish them and cater to international students - but when your clientele are affordable housing patrons, you stand to have far more drama and administration than you care.If it is the property I found on MLS, the listing indicates the owner has carried out decades worth of renovations without permits.
