My bias hereby acknowledged.

Unless I missed something, the government isn't saying tenants don't have to pay rent, they are saying that this is an unprecedented event affecting everyone and by stating that landlords can't evict anyone for the time being is their way of acknowledging that.

I sometimes fail to acknowledge how much I know until I start explaining REI to a newbie and realize that I have a wealth of info - us RE junkies all do!

I believe that Jekyll suspected that I was not trusting him by then - and he was well aware of my professional background to commit an obvious act of fraud.As my partner and I continued to take turns in prodding Jekyll to provide latest expenses invoice and to show us photographic proof that the property was secured, he simply stopped acknowledging us.I was able to find a reliable former co-worker of a friend, who was an Indy resident, and happened to be visiting California on business.

One thing I have found interesting is the 1%-2% "rule", which I will acknowledge the BP team has made clear is not necessarily something that should be blindly followed.

Same goes with the appraisal… I’ve had to personally pay for 2nd or 3rd appraisals due to receiving one that didn’t make any logical sense based off of my knowledge of the market and pulling my own comps.Empowering oneself with knowledge and actively advocating for one's interests is paramount in any business transaction.I understand your frustration with feeling like a victim in this situation… However I ask you to further acknowledge personal accountability and agency in the decision-making processes surrounding your own investment… You’ve unfortunately, grossly just undersold your property, and from what I can see it is due to allowing emotions to get in the way of logic.

Failing to acknowledge the baggage you brought in, etc.

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I think it's important to acknowledge the loss and the emotions that come with it.

Also, I’d call that realtor back, acknowledge that you wasted his time, and send him a very nice dinner gift card.

But to call someone a troll is a cheap shot exposing your own inability to acknowledge others experiences and exposes your emotional maturity level.
