(Some are quite honest in mentioning they are suing their landlord, or don't get along with the landlord, or their current landlord is a slumlord....and let's just say this....When you are interviewing someone for a job, and they badmouth their current or ex employer, do you hire them?)

New to Realistate, I found we have access to free information and books are inexpensive.
