And one of the articles you posted contained this important tidbit, which speaks louder than stories of a handful of development projects:  "In September, FBI statistics showed Detroit was No. 1 as the most violent big city in America, and earlier this month an online financial news group, 24/7 Wall St., ranked Detroit as the No. 1 worst American city to live in."

They collect the origination fee from you, sell their mortgage, apparently conveniently thru MERS, get their money back, goes on to next customer, do another mortgage.

I came to this conclusion after doing some custom blends that I ultimately ended up needing to repaint because I couldn't match for touch ups, but if you have a better method for handling this I'm all ears. 

A customized lease agreement would also work because I could write in specific language about common areas, separate entrances and off limit areas.

In my county I can purchase a CD that contains the details of every property.  

The exposure to potential customers, and the ability to use the photographs on our website and other marketing, would be the added bonus.I'll consider your idea, however, as we do have some really eye-catching barstools and counter stools.

I have several customers in the area and out of curiosity have looked into what they paid for their houses, and it blows my mind!

I was the 2nd one to call the realtor to see the place, but when we got there, a customer whom she just showed to house hours earlier, was there talking to the seller trying to cut her out of the deal.

The downside is: when you become your own best customer in the NFA business you can go broke fast:) So, I may have to shoot it a few times at the range, get my videos, and let it go.

Same custom here that Mark mentions, problems that have been fixed do not need to be disclosed.
