I've been to my fair share of housing authority seminars the last few years and the heads of the various agencies in Los Angeles and Orange County have both said (paraphrasing): "discrimination is fine as long as you are discriminating the same against everyone."

Sorry my head was going faster than I could type I meant your mentor pays you by showing you the ropes and with a small finders fee.

Always put the subject into your heading.

I would also spend some time with your agent and go through the properties and get a head of any deferred maintenance by either addressing it or taking note of it.

The cabinet above the sink can either be raised to allow more head space, or be a full-length cabinet.

So I got it in my head to get a realtor and make offers.

They got in over their head with ARMs or other tricky loans and can no longer afford the house.

We own ours outright, so we only pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance, which roughly halves our cost of having a roof over our head.

What good would it do her to lose the sale by giving your agent a heads up so that you could have an accepted purchase offer?

You are already heading toward multifamily(MF) properties, you just need to move toward the larger units.
