On the downside, rents have been flat in the area, and property taxes have been screaming upwards.After closing this deal, I knew it was about time for a change in strategy.

If you don't tell him all the reasons you got a screaming deal, then he must assume it was an arms length open market transaction, which in turn will mean the other home appraises low, which may mean it sells for less, which in turn means one of YOUR comps sold for less, which could impact market value of your home should you go to sell or refinance it.I would be selective about what I would share, and I wouldn't lie, but I'd only share information that will, or could, lead to my property selling or appraising for more. 

I know initially there would be lots of screaming and gnashing of teeth if this was a state requirement, but I don't see how someone can justify why my barber needs a license, but the person responsible for building my home doesn't.

Before I scream at them when they open what should I say? 

Hey everyone,So, I'm looking a 8 door, all 3/1, for a screaming deal.

@Kate J.

When it comes to lowering rents, some landlords are like Peter O'Toole playing Lawrence of Arabia obsessed with revenge, screaming, "NO PRISONERS!!!"

If you're in the southern half of Old Brooklyn that is a screaming deal.

@Kate J.wow that’s exactly what I told the homeowners and they absolutely refused!!
