They just might not be licensed, might not be ethical, usually don’t answer to a broker or a regulatory body (unless they are licensed) and use a different sales process where the EM typically goes hard earlier in the transaction and the buyer is on their own with fewer contingencies and less time to do their due diligence.

Since these reviews are on google's own product, they weight these reviews higher than reviews on site.

The word "and" is carrying a lot more weight in this definition than they want to acknowledge.

@Nando NachiYour budget will dictate where you buy in in the Seattle Market.Plenty of areas on the rise especially with low inventory.With Condo, keep in mind some HOAs will have to weight in on structural changes.When it comes to schools, most buyers laser in on the school district.

That is a huge weight off my shoulders. 

Thanks Its a similar concept to Weighted Average Least Term (WALT) you want to know 95% of "what" a 95% occupancy of all 10x10s still isn't meaningful if those last units are crap locations and won't ever be rented

I'm getting a lot of differing opinions from both real estate professionals and regulating bodies. 

I don't think in this market I would be putting much weight into the 1% rule.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Bernie BurkeIf you invest in a syndication make sure to get updated reviews - whether here on BP, or in other investment clubs, a lot of the buried bodies are making their way to the surface.  

I agree, the term itself seems to have been the result of backroom jargon as any pool sold or collateralized will be based in part on the WAM, Weighted Average Maturity of the obligations.
