He did expand further upon it another scenario that could apply that I did not discuss, but was not contradictory to my statement - if your lending is a trade or business (not portfolio), but is also passive, syndication losses could offset it.In short...Michael is much better at being concise than I am, but I don't find anything that I would disagree with in his post (or any other post that he makes) - I find he is typically spot on.

I guess there's very little we disagree on.By now, I assume everybody has heard some stories about the cartel-related violence, which are very sad indeed.

If that's the case, I totally disagree.

@Randall Alan Thanks for your in depth write up and views on the subject,  I can't say I disagree with you on the issues with using a fico score given the target market of renters. 

I 100% disagree with getting several quotes from " strangers " RE is all about numbers, end of story All the best 

I know if somebody rubs me the wrong way I talk with them personally to resolve it or just agree to disagree but I don’t drag my dirty laundry in public 

I respectfully disagree in part with Kris.

Regarding Ned's "slimy" comments, I respectfully disagree and agree with Patti 100%. 

Helen itself is still a slam dunk imo due to the purchase price to occupancy rates (I'm seeing hosts fare better there than BR, unless you have a super cool unique BR property, maybe Neil disagrees). 

Hmmmm…I’ll disagree where this is going as I’ve had a different experience.
