Makes me wonder if the people who say such things are the afflicted.

I typically earn about $300/mo by sweeping cash against debt.I use a desktop based QB that was purchased a decade ago and has no monthly subscription fee.I find that data is mainly helpful in overcoming "expectation bias" which is the human affliction that causes us to assume our favorite properties are the best performing properties.

you are kind of dealing with three diffrent issues here, the thing about not being a legal three unit, super easy don't buy something that's not legal, and your agent really shouldn't be encouring you to break the law, the issues with properties being beat up, the vast majority of multi unit's that sell have some wear & tear that's often the reason for selling, being a tired landlord, if you want turn key, you are proably looking more single family homes or paying big dollars for a turn key multi if it even exists in your market, 3rd we can debate the pro's or con's of this this market but youve hired and agent and 99% of agents are going to tell you its a great time to buy, i'm usually more measured but that's because I have a deep psychological problem in which I care more about being intellectually honest than making money, most agent's however are not afflicted with this disease so your gonna have to make this decision for yourself before you hire any agent.

Under fair housing laws it seems to be a gray area around "verifying" service animal status because the verbiage states that requirement can be fulfilled by anyone knowledgeable of the affliction.

I suffered from that affliction for 9 years! 

From one former infantryman to another nearly all of us have a bit of tinnitus (10% VA disability) and degenerative back disease (back arthritis).If you have at least 10% disability you don’t have to pay the VA loan funding fee which is over 2% ($4,000 for a $200k Loan).

We have an affliction.

Next week, for the whole week I'll be a social worker treating those afflicted with real estate investor syndrome, a condition of that effects many who fail to realize reality with grandiose tendencies....

/therapist that the animal helps relieve the conditions of their affliction. 

That's $7.24 per drawer pull.What kind of psychological affliction would make a person pay that much money for a handle to open a drawer with?
