The closest thing to a "problem" that we ever experienced came from a lazy, underemployed, pot-smoking, entitled millennial who happened to be White.The below are just some of the tools in our toolkit that we use to evaluate prospective renters, but in our experience, we're much quicker to look at , amongst other things:   -  How people dress, regardless of their race/color    -  Their Payment History/FICO score (reflection of their honesty/reliability/honor in upholding their obligations)   -   Actual Landlord References going back at least 2 or 3 prior LandlordsAll other things being equal, we'd much sooner Rent to an articulate, well-spoken, well-dressed, punctual, gainfully-employed black individual than a late-arriving, sloppy-sounding, and sloppy-looking white dude.At the end of the day , it's about the Green(and the reliability of getting said Green) ..... not whether one is  black or white... 

Our move here was a little different in that our departure from Korea was set on 31 January of last year so we had to schedule everything in advance of our arrival but had to wait until we got close enough for the Landlord to ok Jan 31.I think because I already have a place here and have not given 30 days yet, I was afforded the luxury of actually thinking things through.

I arrived with cashiers checks at the loan balance amount for a house in 2010 and the opening bid was 10k over so I never got to say "dollar!"

But the first payment arrived early this week.

Showing in teams is much safer and helps with the chaos when several prospects arrive at once.

I am scheduled to arrive to Austin, TX in about one week and had originally planned to work remotely for my company while flipping houses on the side with the hopes of eventually transitioning to full time investing.

Since the rooms are finished when they arrive, the only interior finish work that needs done, is to connect the MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) system in the corridor and finish out the corridor. 

These difficult work, but low paid roles are hard to fill right now.My rambling post is arriving at this;   I'm not going to pull back this house off this PM, but what I just heard, what we hear on trhe news, I honestly can't imagine a single reason to trust putting your valuable and hard worked for rental on any PM,,, except the very very best run and highly established. 

Agents or others who specialize in SS become familiar with what a certain lender may accept and what the may demand of junior lien holders, knowing the payoff sets a base line to arrive at where you may end up as an accepted offer.

Home was willed by decedent to kids, and pretty sure seller is executor Me and family, arriving from out of state, with movers, trucks, friends and family arriving out of state to help because I am injured and can NOT heavy lift at this time.This went down on Friday evening, was told that seller is getting lawyer, this wasn't supposed to happen, will talk to us Monday.......Seller refused early occupancy, so, seeing writing on the wall, texted our realtor and stated our personal belongings are in home, as well as my federal government owned/issued computer and badge, and I have no idea how that will be handled .....Our realtor said, "you have things in house?
