This house we are leasing is cute, but it's small and the lot is also small (about 5600sf). 

Without going into the whole story, he attempted to fix it but ended up hiring an incompetent plumber who just damaged my bathroom and I was stuck cleaning up the very expensive mess and living with my only bathroom under renovation for weeks.Well anyway, it is now owned by a new woman, and the leak still isn't fixed.

I met up with a woman who was really interested in doing home rehabs and she got me pointed in the direction of real estate.

No potential threat, except for being too cute. 

And I met a woman in Taft who raised poodles.

Here's my rule of thumb: If I (as a woman) would not live there, I will not buy there.

It wouldn't surprise me if the woman knew this was in process and failed to take appropriate action.  

The one man (or woman) band who has their pulse on the market and the ability to farm a particular area and pull deals out of that area each month like clockwork.

When I bring up the signing of the lease he then tells me he's going out of town for a weekPerson 2: She shows up and tells me the place is cute.

A woman will be less likely to partner with you unless there is a ring involved.
