While not all investors are created equal and not all of them go back to re analyze their previous figures, even those that do do not have them all combined into any third party oversights, thus, making it difficult to say who is actually more accurate.Like you said, as an investor, I'm accurate in my mind and that is all that matters, at least to me. :)Great discussion guys, hopefully the general population will see this as a great debate between strong minded and experienced individuals and not just a dog fight.

I believe every loan document will ask the borrower, if you are an American citizen and if you tick on 'no', you'll have to explain and submit a visa (I originally came here on H1B).If your income alone is good enough , then you shouldn't even have to mention your husband.If his H1B expired and he's without status, then it would be pretty difficult to renew.Hopefully, immigration reform will get voted on next year.

It shouldn't be difficult for you to get even 2 more ASAP.

I've done condo conversions of apartment buildings in Bellevue, Murfreesboro, and Green Hills and sold several hundred multifamily units in Middle Tennessee so I feel as if I've got my fingers on the pulse of things, but I'd need a bit more info.There's an infill boom going on in town right now, so anything with density in Germantown, The Gulch, West End, and East Nashville is going to be difficult to find and pricey.

Not that a proper tag was difficult to begin with...

was it difficult to cut out the opening for the slider?
