I mean no ill will or offense, but REI is not a game  REI is a business and it should be treated as such. 

Globally, China is experiencing its own credit problems in the housing industry and  it also has excess inventory.  

The ringtones sound too similar, so I'm thinking for my non-work / real estate phone, I need to change the ringtone to a song, or some other saying that will be different that would not be offensive if heard in the work place, but would be an easy enough clue that my brain can tell immediately whether it's my work phone or the real estate phone.Long story short, give me cellphone ringtone suggestions to make sure I become 100% successful in everything I do.Or just tell me about yours.  

As a Realtor I find it offensive the lack of respect for what we do.

They should be fined for first and possibly second offenses and lose their licenses on a third.

Apparently the owner had built the home himself and took offense to the lower offer.

That resulted in a fast and easy eviction, with the assistance of the ADA.I'd say airbnb falls right in the middle of the above two offenses.

After closing on the property, the loan officer at the bank started acting funny, not returning my phone calls, and saying they have some new global credit guy that has to come in and look at all of their loans to make sure they're good.

However, whether you invest here or elsewhere, I still think there is value in deeply contemplating the question of why it is so much more expensive ... that is a rhetorical question for you to noodle on, but my advice is to think long and hard to understand the factors that go into it as it will help you see the REI world in color so to speak rather than in black and white like most newbies (no offense intended to you or other newbs).
