This way the rents are in and we get larger pro-rations and less money to bring to closing.

@Luka Milicevic @Mark Hower What is rational of the City Council?  

This isn't a clean title and (unaware) people who buy a property with this kind of title take the risk of expropriation.The reality is that there are absolutely no rational reasons for the Mexican government to expropriate (vacation) properties belonging to foreigners who bought with a clean title.

Unless it was a extreme heat wave I would question the rational of their decision.

In this economy people stop paying dues and everyone else has to cover expenses, increasing dues and spreading the burden onto already tight budgets.If a project was in great shape and past due dues are less than 10% and the board is rational, maybe ok.You never know when someone might highjack the board by becoming the chair and go crazy on an older property.

As far as the Debt to income ration.

I am glad to know that there are still some people fighting for rationality in the financial sector.

When people get frustrated it's because their want is overwhelming the rational part of their brain.

Right now, a lot of people are stepping away from investing in real estate because they don't see the cash flow...I would state that those people are missing a lot of other benefits to owning real estate if that's all that they are comparing.Hope all of that makes sense. 1 -Rationalization. 

I go with a preponderance of evidence, just like Judge Judy :D - Vote to post ratio- Rough number of votes- Content of the post- My familiarity with the value of the poster's content- Whether the poster raised points I hadn't thought of before- Whether the poster's advice seems rational and reasonable- The type and length of experience of the poster- How the poster is held by other posters I respect- Whether or not the poster is selling anything/looking for business opportunities- Other (as applicable)I usually only look at profiles of either colleague requests or of people who I have become interested/intrigued in their posts.
