Non-admitted insurers are often a lot cheaper than their counterparts and are a way for your borrower to save money at the risk of nonpayment to you.Last, because we always seem to get the evidence of insurance at the last minute, insurance seems to be the number one cause of loan delays.

The more words you're blabbing while trying to defend yourself the more fuzzy the whole conversation gets, and the more likely your counterpart is completely missing the point you're trying to explain. 

Just because their hourly rate is not as high as a US counterpart doesn't mean their work is lower quality or that they are incapable.  

Through my research, I have learned that dealing with some contractors can be tumultuous even for our male counterparts so I approach them after doing my due diligence and getting more than one quote for a major project.

While the white counterpart is approved. really? 

By the numbers, and many of my OH counterparts have discussed this with me, I would have to do any 3 properties in OH to match what I can do with 1 MN Twin Cities property.

I think right now this is anyone's guess, but I'd wager that my $400,000 1500 sqft 1950s build duplex here in Denver doesn't need substantially more than it's counterpart in Ohio in the way of CapEx and Maintenance.

We have a better debt to income ratio than several of our European counterparts.

Urban mid-high rise dwellers tend to be young couples, singles/roommates, and more than likely professional, maybe some senior empty nesters who, all in, do less laundry than their suburban family property counterparts.
