I've had the experience many times. I've usually bit my tongue, but every now and then, when the time's right, I simply ask -- "Really? Where did you live when you first moved out of Mom & Dad's place?" That's usually when the wife (or husband) begins to stifle an evil grin. :) Chris — I’m with you all the way.

So to clarify, my point was that often people forget where they start. Sorta like the first time home buyers whose parents visit the home after contract and make comments like "kinda small" or "is the neighborhood safe". By the time you have kids old enough to buy a house you might forget your first one thirty years ago. Reading my comment I thought it looked kinda bad.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking "yes!" Not everyone lives in a 4,000 square foot home with 3 garages, a shed out back on 5 acres with a private pool and also has $40,000 cash in their checking account to buy a rental property. "There is definitely a market for this price range" is usually my actual response. :) “Do people really live in a place like this?”

Sometimes it rains. Thanks David — When guys like you and me give answers our clients didn’t necessarily want to hear, they learn quickly we’re not there to paint pretty sunsets all day.
