I see lots and lots of self managers be soft and waive it and then it becomes a habit on both tenant and landlord side.   

I'd says things like; "You are fixated on square footage determining if a house is comparable but you are comparing single story houses to my two story and single stories cost more to build and typically sell for more than two stories of equal square footage" and would get told "if you don't like it go to the review board".What's the bet that next year when we try to use comps from early 2019 when the market has been soft they won't accept them if the market has gotten stronger towards year end.

To all you land developers out there, are you able to finance soft costs (civil engineering and architecture)? 

These should be people you actually know, and not an email list you bought somewhere.Approaching investors for soft commitments before you have something for them to invest in is the best way to prepare for when you do have something for them to invest in.

Best used only as a soft indicator.

Said it made it soft to step on.Strange, or something that people prefer?

My wife and I are coming up to the end of a two year lease on a property in Northern Virginia -- as we've been here, we've noticed that our kids have had persistent respiratory issues -- particularly our 10 month old son, who we took to the emergency room at 4 months old, with respiratory issues (we didn't think to check for mold at the time).As we've been in the house, the owner (who regularly cut out the property management company he had been working with), has mentioned that when he lived in the house, he had noticed 'pin hole leaks' in some of the pipes.. and when we pointed out a 1 inch diameter 'soft-spot' in the kitchen ceiling, he chalked it up to that.
