ya maybe being able to choose your own tenant and disregard discrimination laws for race religion sex disability because you owner occ one of the units.. falls under something different but it is federal law.. unless prohibited by state county or city.. the owner of a 1 to 4 unit who lives in one of the units does not have to follow the selection rules..

As most have already said, as long as you haven't accepted them yet, you should be fine as long as your decision follows the Fair Housing Act (meaning you're declining of their application is not based on Race, Color, National Origin, Religion, Sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), Familial Status, or Disability). 

I just had a lady e mail me from AU a few minutes ago..

We took a galley kitchen and turned it into a U shaped kitchen.Best of luck to you!

@Shawn Kalakota  not to disagree with you but no all of Aussie land has performed that way.. there is price correction going on in Western AU right now  Perth.. their economy tied to mineral extraction which is down.Eastern is about like you say.. although one being a US citizen would want to look at tax implications.. its not like US and don't think there is ability to 1031 if you make a big move up.although I like the paying rent every week like they do there and no check's every one has electronic banking so its not the weak renter we have in the US rental markets. 

Going on vacation may be fun, but getting through airport sure isn't.In Ignore Everybody and 39 other keys to creativity 2009 hardback the author talks about "sex and money".

Know what you are willing to "let go" of and I say that because one of my owners ended up selling because she really had a hard time letting go of the fact that guests/strangers were sleeping/having sex in the beds. 

It might be location specific, or it might be that the listing agent's marketing isn't up to par (poorly taken photos, or no photos at all, no description, agent didn't click the right buttons on the mls so it didn't post to all the websites, agent non responsive, there might be a registered sex offender next door, etc.)

The NZ or AU investors that you sell US properties to, do they not end up making a lower return on their investments in US?

It was a case where she said he offered her more shares of his ******** company in exchange for sex.
