However, their underwriting is too stringent for our taste.

My first taste of real estate investing aside from buying my own home, was helping a investor buy four properties in a row.

But what gets in the way is since I want to live in a unit I see myself looking at more of a rural area because of my taste, and considering i will stay at my first property as i continue my journey.

Also I wanted them to match the rest of the doors in the living space to blend tastefully.

It’s like this story was tailor made for this, tax fraud, alien harboring, money laundering, arson...http://www.toledoblade.com/Police-Fire/2012/05/23/IHOP-indictments-to-be-announced-today.htmlIt all comes down to taste, you try to run your business as best you can based on the risks you face.  

They just give you a taste. ... and then try to upsell you on bigger/more expensive packages.

Well, I've never heard anybody say they'd rather live in Dallas than FW, but I suppose there's no accounting for taste. ;)I have two rentals in Haltom City.

I know they're good deals because my team has evaluated them.The investors and wholesalers who waded up to these folks in 4 feet of water offering them lot value for their home as they desperately tried to salvage anything at all from their homes is what gave them a bad taste for investors.

For a few bucks more per sub you can get a lot better product for taste and quality. 

I got to be honest coming across as sympathetic and compassionate whilest trying to buy their or the decedents house comes across as very bad taste.
