@Mack Bailey the good news is you are a year away from being able to sign contracts. 

Good news is that the items you listed are longer term items. 

I can assure you when the news keeps reporting the sky is falling the newbies will be on the sideline wondering if they should get in now or wait a little longer.I bought a property and 3 months later did BRRRR and got all my money out and some.

The good news is that it is raining all week this week in Chicago so if it's a problem with rain it should show fast.

Thank you for your time Wells Fargo is a very bad choice if you read the news.

The bad news (for the developer) is that all of the entitlement work (annexation, zoning, land use, density) runs with the land and belongs to and benefits the property and its owner.If you have developer clients that really believe that price is not an issue you have indeed found a group of rare birds. 

Is there any news on the potential rate hike next week?

There’s a guy who has lived there several years who acts as a manager currently and gets a discounted rent.Your most welcome, that is most likely good news.

I even do a Google search sometimes to see if a news article or something pops up.I don't dig this deep on everyone but it's something I reserve for the applicants that seem questionable or if I have a gut feeling they're hiding something.

In 2016 I was blessed with the news that my current wife and best friend was pregnant, something that I didn't think was in the cards for me.
