Thank you all for the input.To be honest, I was a little unsure of how to respond to said listing agent’s reaction and that is why I pointed out that, yes, I do appreciate the concern if in fact that was the case, however, that being said, none of us would appreciate being ruled out of an offer simply based on our gender.It is really wrong to make an assumption that someone is not qualified to buy from you, just based on gender alone.It is for this reason that the Fair Housing Act came into place and what saddens me is that the only way he agreed to a showing was after my buyer’s agent pointed out my military background.I served in the United States Army and it is sad that, my agent needed to bring this up to try to win me a showing.My agent tried to convince this listing agent that if I can handle being in the military and seeing what I saw, living in the “supposed” bad neighborhood was the least of my worries, and it is.I know what I can handle and it just saddens me when people presume just based on my gender that I need something “softer, more secure” or else, I will fail.In the military, my MOS was 62 Bravo, heavy equipment mechanic.I am by no means fragile and incapable of taking care of myself and it is truly sad when a listing agent feels the need to bring up my gender as a pre-qualification for showing a property!

Last year I separated from the Army National Guard after 8 years so can relate in that regard.

I am currently transitioning out of the Army (Active Duty) and want to purchase a Duplex in the Tarpon Springs Florida area to house hack.

There would be no ability to manipulate currencies for good reasons and countries in economic disparity would have extremely hard time getting out of depressions and what not.Let me ask the Bitcoin army people this (I also don’t want to hear, ride the appreciation!

It's like having an army of expert advisors in your pocket!

I'm kind of a Swiss Army knife for him.

@Brandon Luke   Like to think I invented No is OK but I did not.. it was one of those lines I picked up in a sales meeting 35 years ago.. when we would all round table and brain storm on technique and what worked for what people.And the one who taught me that approach was a retired Army officer who I worked with.It is hands down the best line I have ever been taught or ever used..

Once I am discharged from the Army, I plan to direct market immediately.

For this place we let the client know we were calling Salvation Army to donate.

I soon found BP, and now about to transition out of the Army where my wife and I will purchase our first buy and hold multi family investment property!!
