And maybe work a couple of years and buy another place.....much will depend on how you mesh your real estate career with your wife's medical career, such as where you are, whether you can manage it, etc (could you own a 2-4 unit near her medical school, for example?

The neighbourhood has many other older houses with earthy colours, there are quite a few artists in this area and they have really dome up some of the exteriors of their houses quiet nice so I'm trying to pull different ideas from different houses and mesh them but not in a gaudy way.We MAY get lucky when we pull the siding off the front of the house-we saw some clapboard underneath and if it's in reasonable shape I can fill in the nail holes and paint it.

When my wife told me she was from Dexter, MI i asked how close to Detroit - since it was my only point of reference.  

Today a lady called my agency and said she'd go to the news if they didn't fire me (she doesn't understand how brokerages work). 

I was referred by a friend to a mortgage lender who informed me she could handle the deal and also that her company handled in house home-style renovation loans to make sure I had enough funds to convert the half-bath into a full bath.  

Some are fabric, some are mesh.

I feel like this is a very common situation where people living in relatively close quarters don't mesh well and would like to hear your thoughts:Situation 1: The upstairs neighbor (The one that recorded this video) comes to you to complain.

In the final analysis, I asked her "what's in it for me"? She

(I was basically won over when one of the references I called told me she worked for a competing property management company but had these guys handle the properties she owned).

Unfortunately when I tried to speak with the rep that was assigned to me, she had no idea what she was talking about and couldn't really answer any of my questions - and pretty much never let me speak to the underwriters who could actually give clarification.
