So when you have a post like this, where accusations are made, based on anecdotal evidence, that can tarnish someone's reputation and, therefore, their livelyhood, keeping it up is counterproductive to what this forum is about.

Sounds like to me that the age old prejudice about pretty girls in somehow involved in this .

I don’t see a correction that size as EM is way over-valued and the US is the prettiest girl at closing time.

I know that hiring the guy/girl who does something day in and day out is way better than me at it, and can save me time/money/frustrations.

I'd walk by Gouda cheeses in the supermarket and think about Dutch girls and suddenly I'd be in an embarrassing situation.Duplex, SFR, managing opportunity, long-term gains, all that was totally lost on me.But I did learn how to talk to and live with women, and that's made a significant difference in my life.

Is your lovely girl a RE appraiser?

Turnover of tenants is expensive and girl #2 will be gone in no time.Good luck to you!

I thought this girl would be good because she told me she wanted to be a real estate investor, and do some house hacking, but she doesn't seem to know anything about management expenses, utilities, or any of it.

You don’t want to end up in a situation where for whatever reason you fail to close, and then be accused of tortuous interference with someone else’s contract, causing the current owner to lose rental income because you paid their tenant to leave.
