I'm a landlord myself and offered my own experience but I was curious if any renters or landlords have come across instances in which they have experienced the act of receiving or lowering their rent/cashflow.  

Looking to learn very much still and network with a handful of honest, successful, and experienced investors.

The applicants are experiencing too much weirdness and bad vibes at one time.  

My question is have any body ever experienced a problem buying an REO property using hard money lenders?   

We're looking for experienced investors who've done at least 5 rehabs in the last twelve months.

SW Michigan continues to grow despite the east side of the state experiencing the opposite.

Just because an experienced landlord is seeing 5% doesn't mean every landlord can expect the same.

From what I know and have experienced it is the buyer's choice of title company.You may be interested in this link from the NAR website (National Association of Realtors):http://realtormag.realtor.org/law-and-ethics/law/article/2013/03/respa-rules-agents

I have experienced this first hand.
