Well, I would be looking for ways to show her I understand her concerns and have demonstrable ways to deal with them.

I don't even thing you would see demonstration as big as the 60's-70's any more.

Lawsuits, statements at city council, letters to the editor, demonstrations, protests, newspaper articles, etc are all effective techniques.

Politicians have a stigma for being creepy and self serving because that's what history has repeatedly demonstrated for the past 10,000 years.

In the meantime, he very efficiently found the truly motivated sellers.My favorite part about this story, apart from it being true, is that it demonstrates that success in real estate investing, as in life, is often just a "numbers" game.

The steps would be to move out of the primary residence and rent it out for 12 to 18 months in order to demonstrate intent to hold for investment and then sell the property.

There is too much room for a person's judgment to be compromised when dealing with someone close.Get advice on specific topics from people who have demonstrated a competence in the market.

The new trend is to demonstrate to a new tenant that the drains are working when they move in so any problems are caused by the tenant and therefore a tenant responsibility.Allowing a tenant to do repairs and deduct from the rent is a very slipery slope.

And as the former tenant had repeatedly demonstrated that he was, in fact such a person, it was for that reason only that I chose not to continue to do business with him.The opposing attorney belittled and scoffed at my reasons and insisted that I was actually a bigoted bastard discriminating against someone specifically because they were black.I asked the judge: Your Honor; I don't like the way this man acts, it has nothing to do with the color of his skin, he would be just as unpleasant to deal with no matter what color he was.

To get real investors looking at your deals you need to demonstrate knowledge and expertise in RE as well as what they want.
