You don't want to be manipulative in any way, intentional or not, so you have to make sure you talk completely openly and honestly with her.

What if is just a manipulation to shine a turd to call it gold, I don't care how shinny you make that thing it is what it is buddy. 

Paying cash is just shifting and manipulating your risk tolerance.

Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Gary (IN), St Louis, Huntsville, Phoenix/Tempe/Mesa, Kansas City, Memphis, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Harrisburg (PA), Greenville, Jacksonville, Tampa, Houston, San Antonio, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland, Ohio, or other secondary or tertiary markets.

I'm not sure if the PICTURES of mold in the basement were manipulation to get the property cheaper.

Extreme weather conditions, or areas prone to flooding, high wind, tornados, heavy snow storms, high humidity, wildfires, and long stretches of freezing temps add up to more maintenance costs, unplanned repair expenses, more insurance claims and higher premiums, greater risk of injury, higher utility costs, snow removal, and more strain on mechanical equipment, roofs, siding, and so on.

And it all makes sense now, your obsessive compulsion with ignoring facts and data, going to such effort's to twist and manipulate things, selective data etc..

I manipulated and changed up the Memphis Invest pro forma easily when assessing various properties, and if any cell or portion of the chart isn't doing what its supposed to be doing, should be easy to just pop in the right formula if anything is messed up for some reason (though they were fine when I was reviewing them 2-3 months ago).

Unfortunately due to the strict tenant rights laws, there are "Professional Tenants" that know the laws very well and essentially live rent free as they manipulate and swim through the legal system.   

The market usually slows down when temps drop, so opportunities pick up.West Asheville is really popular so a lot of Realtors tag their property as W AVL.
