Another fear is "showing your cards"; that the listing agent (or seller) will start telling other potential buyers where the top of the escalator is in order to drum up even higher offers.  

(Mission accomplie) While teaching math classes, I always beat the drum of investing and financial literacy.  

In a criminal case it is absolutely prohibited to comment on the right to remain silent, you can be sanctioned for it, but in a civil case you can beat that thing like a base drum.

I'm a bit further north in the 1000 Islands Region (Watertown/Fort Drum Area). 

@Rob Drum is a local agent investor that can help out, he has a good number of houses and knows his numbers.

Also, some seem to think that its basically false advertisement type of deal because you start at a price to drum up interest and get people pre screened and to come look at it and then get multiple good tenant possibilities just to put them against each other.Idk, its tough because you do want as much as you can possibly get but at the same time it isn't a sale.

I appreciate you trying to help here...and I get it but most of your posts are based upon fear...trying to drum up business.

@Will Grabert I'm going to beat my demographics drum here a little bit. 

If I called it illegal and could not cite either statutory or case law after repeatedly being asked to do so I wouldn't continue to pound the "illegal" drum either.

Have any friends that play the drums in a metal band or belong to a biker gang?
