Its sad to see how a few mistakes made by a referee can put a whole country on its knees.I lived in Croatia for the most of my childhood and know how passionate everyone is for the game.Its harsh to use words like corruption and bribery but the 2 decisions were not made with the sale criteria.Some referees are more stringent than others with certain things and have different perceptions.

Its a matter of perception.

It's my perception that the 1% rule (e.g. $1200/month on a $120K house) starts to diverge at about the $130K price point, meaning you can probably get $1300/month for a $130K house, but you're likely not going to get $1400/month on a 140K house (maybe $1350).  

This is not made to be political in any way just one person's perception.

so for me its hard to have the perception like your talking about since I never did that in my life and I have always woke up in the morning the master of my own time ...

The ones in my area generally refer to their VRBO number as I do.I refresh the add every few days to keep it towards the top of the search results.Since it is free it is a no brainer for me to use even if it only generates one lead a year.I also sometimes get someone that just wants to send me a check months ahead of their desired reservation and I have no problem with this either.My perception is that people using VRBO are middle aged people that don't mind spending money on a nice place.The inquires I get from AirBnB are more of the millennial crowd that may not have as much to spend as someone in the peak of their earning potential.

You're not seeing the real numbers which colors your perception.

Soliciting someone over the phone rarely works i would imagine and yea my perception of realtors has really changed this week since they basically bombed my cell phone,business phone and home number.

As an agent in a competitive market, VA offers are already problematic due to the inaccurate but commonly held perceptions that:1) The borrower doesn't have enough money for conventional and thus is at risk of being unable to close in case of a low appraisal or income issues during underwriting.2) The VA appraisal, often called a VA inspection, will uncover arbitrary but costly problems that need to be fixed before closing.This can be compounded if buyers are trying to use some of these non-local, call-center based lenders who are unable to accommodate quick settlements.
