On a less objective level, I think seller psychology has transitioned from "We can get any price we want" to "We can get 5-10% more than what our neighbor's house just sold for" to "Holy crap, I can't believe no buyers see the value in my house and will pay that amount!!!"

I dont advise anyone to buy in an area without understanding the psychology of the target market.

I believe it's just a case of psychology here...not every seller thinks in terms of net proceeds. 

I've been able to teach her but it takes a while and some psychological skills.

It's probably better both financially and psychologically to have the unit sit empty for a little longer while screening for an excellent tenant than to place a bad one in it.As for legalities, I cannot really comment on what is legal in your area as I am not licensed there nor am I an attorney.

I have everything I can think of printed out: lease, pay or quit notices, correspondence promising payment that never arrived, etc.This has been almost too much to bear psychologically for me and my wife, so I appreciate any advice you have from experience.Thanks and God Bless.

A rent price of $1,695 looks more attractive to tenants (its a psychological thing - it under '$1,700).Pets - it's complicated. 

. § 442.606.Missouri specifically allows you to remain silent on certain matters related to "psychological impacts" on the property, including whether prior occupants of the home had HIV/AIDS or whether the home was the site of a murder, felony, or suicide.So apparently, if you know a kid was murdered in the house you don't have to tell, but if his parents beat him, you do.

It's twofold, I think - first is the psychology of "I was here before you so this is my place" or what I like to call the substitute teacher syndrome; second is they were screened (or not) by someone else using different criteria from your business model.Kudos to you for doing this transaction right and using the estoppel! 

A lot of opportunity is coming because of the psychological of the crowd because many people think alike.
