I also wonder whether the neighbor has an issue with the race or ethnicity of your tenants.

It’s a very dynamic town with many different ethnicities, demographics etc., and many different investment opportunities.

Are there racial and ethnic divisions within the town that make one side of the river more expensive then the other (unfortunately, you will see this a lot in small southern towns)?

and that takes some getting used to if you have lived in ethnic diverse areas in the past.

I deal with that all the time. what I check if a person has an "undocumented status" and/or "undocumented" income/work is the following:1. current place where they live and reason for moving - this gives me an idea how my place will look like when they move out2. 2 or 3X security deposit. 3. verification of income (if they have bank account). many of them have TIN number that allows them to open bank account. other's have some sort of bank in their ethnic credit union...4.

The building has been rented to only one ethnic group, mostly on low income, some have taken advantage either by suing or illegally housing more people, others have been fine.

Hi @Francis Rusnak,Individual lenders can have regional interest rate pricing, and it not be unlawful discrimination, provided that the area is large enough not to encapsulate primarily one ethnic group.

That, I feel remains true irrespective to, community, socioeconomics and or ethnicity.  

no, i'm not interested in discriminating against folks based on race/color/nationality/national origin/religion/sex/disability; whether under my own primary residence's roof nor any clients' but actually bewildered that such a detailed act would point out 'race' 'color' and 'nationality' or 'national origin' but not touch upon ethnicity; same for 'sex' but not even touch upon gender identity or orientation.. at least at the federal level.and likewise, what about language?

"don't buy in that 'ethnic' neighborhood, I have more properties for people 'like' you".
