I know one degree won’t directly translate into real estate but I guess I was searching for one that would compliment it.. i.e. accounting or finance.

I learned they don't have any guidance and in most cases I went to their homeowners insurance appointments with them to translate what the agent was telling them.

Translation, “personal FREEDOM, make up your own mind.”I live in Hawaii, where we currently have 37% unemployment, the governor is taking about suspending evictions for up to a year, and just extended the shutdown another month, despite the fact that Oahu, the most populated island, has had no new cases for the past couple of days.

-However, 10% YOY appreciation on a leveraged property will results in much faster wealth build which can translate into buying more properties faster.

"Prior to seller receipt & approval of the full title package from foreclosure title to property will be conveyed by a quit claim deed"My basic translation,  "Before the seller gets the 55k, the buyer will be stuck with the possibility of liens on the property, 2nd mortgage issues, tenants, and other trash to be taken out before any exit strategy will be possible."

My translation is they're looking for someone who will quickly close a deal no matter what problems may exist of may be created in the process. 

On a low down payment deal, this translates to a significant bump in ROI, and even if I were putting more down, a few thousand a year for the life of a deal is worth a few hours of my time to shop around. 

He probably also doesn't want to have to fork out any more money trying to get her settled, and so he's trying to get her move-in money back for her.Just a guess, but I've been in similar situations.This is an item I added to my criteria for things I would deny applicants for - if they show up with someone who said they weren't going to live in the unit, but they were doing all or most of the talking - and it wasn't a need for a translator. 

I do a lot of typing on here and you lose a little in translation as people will attest to here that have talked to me.Swanny

Red flags include:  "my landlord wants to sell the house"--   "my landlord died"---  "my landlord won't fix anything" --- those are code words for "I'm being evicted for nonpayment".... another one is "the pay stub system is down" ... that actually means "I don't have a job"   you need to learn the basic translator skills of C/D landlording!
