@Wayne Brooks A critical distinction.

what part of the screening process do tattoos fall under and why is there a distinction between visible/not visible tats and male vs female ? 

There are exceptions though, proposed under section 1946.2 which may exempt SFR owners.What isn't clear to me is the distinction between eviction for just cause and just ending the tenancy for no reason.

Well, not really a deduction, but the distinction is technical.

I distinctly remember that people were outraged and posting that the banks had lowered their credit limits although they had never paid late.

I know policies/ policy types differ between insurance carriers, but I'm wondering if you could help provide a distinction between personal vs commercial for normal landlords. 

While you can have a DOT which includes some note ideas, they are recognized as two distinct and separate documents in purpose and function.

My quick reaction is that if it's just that her style is rude in the distinctive way lawyers can be rude (brusque, condescending) when you deal with her, that's an annoyance but not a major problem.

I guess one could claim that brokering notes and private mortgages is a business that is separate and distinct from trading securities on an exchange.

You don't put 20% into the hands of the settlement attorney; you bring it with you in good funds at closing.Hopefully there's a distinction in your contract between earnest money and the down payment.
