Curious to hear your thoughts on why this happens, because I can't come up with a rational explanation for an appraiser to single out investors seeking loans as a class.

The many bad reviews we have on that google page (& boy there are quite a few of them) are not necessarily from rational people.

You WOULD think, if you had the information before AND if the homeowner was rational.

If you need any help with the math on your real estate test, I have free videos posted on You Tube that will help you with pro rations, per cent of profit, commissions, amortizations.

We all have them - against all ration and sound advice we do something that turns out to be completely stupid.

But you should be aware that people in this tenant's situation aren't always perfectly rational, no matter how hard you try with them.

Could be, but I don't think so, and I believe my desire to buy large-scale assets is rational.

Perhaps our goals will change down the road but I think it is smart to start small and think about investing in a rational way instead of worrying about the immediate cash flow.

Originally posted by @Tasia Larri:@Jamiel Strickland I started looking into that as an option as well, but was told that it wouldn’t be the best idea being that I am going to be a first time home buyer— also I am very restricted to how much I am approved for due to my DTI ration (student loans)... so I thought utilizing this rehab loan would allow for me to purchase a property less than 100k and rehab it — to still be able to live in a nice home, for a cheaper price.  

I know I have to fight the tendency to justify investments by this rational so I’m not blaming anyone.
