So, I think it is slim pickings compared to where it was 4-5 years ago.

@David A.If the rent looks slim, what would you want too see for that same setup for rent?

Back on point, if brokers take an average investor away from vinilla investments the likelyhood of them defending against suitable and appropriate is slim, I've had this discussion with several brokers and they avoid such issues.

There was probably a very slim chance I could get it for the price I wanted, so we passed.

And I definitely agree, if an SFR deal is contingent on a difference in interest rates of 0.5%, there’s a good chance the margin of error one is operating is too slim to begin with.

Having said all of that, I have some slim pickings for applicants in my Class C rentals.

If that's an equity return above the low teens after expenses, then it's slim pickings.

Talk to your smaller local banks, but the chances of cashing out additional money above your investment are slim for the first 6 months.

If something is accurate and verifiable then the changes of having a deletion are slim.  

@Steve Babiak you're welcome ... haha  right that would be hilarious if the city did try to get attorneys to take a training course to bid ... speaking of AOWs they're a big reason why I don't attend the foreclosure sale ... it's usually slim pickings because of the AOWs bidding on everything and if they don't bid usally the deep pocket investors are next in line to buy up any decent properties leftover.
