It is not a purchase nor is it an emotional reaction and should never be a knee-jerk decision.

i work with a few investors and i love showing them houses we always try to show more then one at a time as i don't like wasting my time. but we generally narrow our search down by area. i know what my clients like so i try to stay with in the limits everyone once in a while i throw a curve ball in just to see his reaction sometimes he is like wow thats a awesome area other times they are like umm yea no not this one even before we are outa the car.

It feels like this inspection could have been scheduled sooner to give me more reaction time, but HUD works on a very specific monthly schedule that might not allow for that. 

I was feeling mostly okay about the note until I got that reaction...I'm just in a place where I'm examining everything in my portfolio and asking questions about whether I'm getting the best return that I could.

People think of heaven as this happy place where you see all your friends, yada yada but that is only a reaction to the fiery evil Hell image that has been created.

My first reaction was No S***!

I wonder why I don't see a reaction from any Black folks here?

I know the knee jerk reaction is the banks tightened up their credit profiles and it is just "tough", however there is still a reason (underlying underwriting guideline) which functions as the core reason for turn down.

Curious to hear your reaction on this one
