Mike, I don't mean to sound harsh, but you don't own this house any longer.

Wow Joel, that's a pretty harsh judgmental thing to say.

If that sounds harsh, let me tell you my boss said to me, when I told him of MY problem, "My wife does not get sick when SHE smells people's perfumes."

I have seen 2 very harsh boom busts in my state in the last 40 years as well as a few small ones.

I think the article's main thesis can be summarized in the following syllogism: (a) Poor people use more government resources than their tax contribution, (b) Illegal aliens are on average poor, (c) Therefore kick them out.Your assessment and use of the term syllogism seem overly harsh to me.

Let's not be too harsh.

Apartment investing isn't really a good fit for those with limited capital, that's the harsh reality.    

None of my workers or contractors has a harsh word to say about me, not even the ones I "fired". 

Hopefully that drama is behind me and I can re-sell the property for a profit. 

Sorry about the EXTREMELY long post everyone, I hope at least the drama is entertaining enough for you to read to this point
