I'm having a hard time seeing how anyone going through this for the first time could do it without suffering from stress.

When someone comes in too soft, with no real action, the families suffer later because it was a soft entry intended to gain trust and then the real hard sell always comes later.

The property was right across the street from a university campus (which had grown to where the building was), and so we revisited the idea of renting to students and long story shorter - we discovered law students are golden, after suffering a few undergrad stories that are doozies lol.But, who could ever have anticipated this? 

The longer we wait to provide it, the more the economy will suffer.

@Peter Walther How do these exclusions factor into the claim analysis:Defects, liens, encumbrances, adverse claims, or other matters(a) created, suffered, assumed, or agreed to by the Insured Claimant;(b) not Known to the Company, not recorded in the Public Records at Date of Policy, but Known to the Insured Claimant and not disclosed in writing to the Company by the Insured Claimant prior to the date the Insured Claimant became an Insured under this policy;

Sure it suffered due to COVID, but you want to buy when there is distress.

So, if you give them your skin, without putting them in a position to lose any themselves if they don't act responsibly, and then only you suffer the consequences - you haven't allowed them to learn any real life consequences for their behavior. 

-I suffer from the same issue as you do and I feel many others are in the same boat as us.

And while you may not care if you lose a short sale deal, because you don't do it right, the owner who may not have time to try a short sale a second time, is the one who suffers if you screw it up, can't close, won't close, etc.

I alway think inside my head, dang - a single family property would be so much more suited for this disabled vet suffering from PTSD than this apartment they are applying for.
