It also eliminates the need for appraisals, and the annoyance of detailing every minor financial transaction while you apply for a new loan as well as loan origination costs etc and since you don't have to deal with the bank  you can close a lot faster.

I am really annoyed and trying to find a solution. 

I have talked to city workers who told me they get annoyed with people who complain.

They had major issues with lead times and hitting their deliveries which was annoying, but we have also experienced an issue with the large sliding window in our master bedroom (seems a seal exposure/draft issue) already within a year or so.So I won't be buying Crestline again, maybe not fair but that's my data point...

I want the right balance of letting them know I'm here, but not annoying and don't want them to expect a premium b/c of my proximity and desire.I would love ideas on what you think is the best strategy to try to get it under contract.

One annoying thing is horsehair plaster walls - still have those.

Straight up, it's pretty annoying to have people show up at your door trying to sell you something or talk to you about something like selling your house.

I have good credit, my DTI is okay but I'm taking some Dave Ramsey advice and knocking down some annoying consumer debt.

Since they are not the best tenants, and you'll probably prefer replacing them, so what if they get annoyed at your "lack of customer service?"
