Hi. I was wondering how anyone has gone about separating water utility for tenants and billing it back to them? I have isolated all the water lines for my units but haven't figured out if I should call the water company and have them sell me water meters or if there is a water meter I can buy online that possibly hooks up to wifi to report usage. What have you all done? 

As long as you drive a car that screams "I'm a successful real estate agent" you'll do great!

Now if someone's already made that joke, I'll make another. 

No one can tell what you look like when you actually answer your phone, which is the number 1 requirement for a good real estate agent, though it seems many still struggle with that. 

All joking aside, the people who would judge you for a full sleeve would 100% judge you for half a sleeve so it's a moot point. 

You came in this world with nothing, everything you have was worked hard for. You're obviously a smart man having achieved this. If I were you, I wouldn't be concerned because you are much better off that when you started life and, now that you've done it once, you can do it quicker even if the worst case scenario would happen. Which is almost impossible to happen. 

But your bigger issue is the stress your wife has. Find a way to keep the door open at your company and leave on good terms. Then the wife will be more reassured that you can go back if things don't work out the way you expected. CONGRATS!

Sooooooooooo who's got an extra bedroom on Maui? Brandon???

Hi everyone. I hope this doesn't piss anyone off, but I figured if it hasn't been done, I might as well post it. WeBull is a stock trading platform similar to Robinhood. They offer commission-free trades and are a legit app. Honestly, I don't think any of us should really trade stocks cuz ETF's are the best and I wouldn't trust an app like this for long term investing, but two free stocks are two free stocks. Maybe some of you will like the app and continue using it.

If you sign up you get a free stock. Then you get another free stock if you fund your account. They are offering me 3 free stocks for recommending them. You'll probably get the same referral bonus, so you can invite your friends after. I got a snapchat and groupon stock for free. Not too bad.

Here is the link and info.

Open a Webull brokerage account and receive ONE (1) free stock valued between $2.5-$250! Deposit ANY amount and get an additional free stock valued between $12-$1400! https://act.webull.com/i/lVCCmEIb4MGb/rbc/wb_deposit_us_01

Thank you if you do it.

 What you normally do, is what I will do from now on. The lawyer never made contact and I'm not concerned about this anymore. I've moved on. 

 It's a tragedy this is how things are. I hope this trend stops but I won't hold my breath. 

 There aren't many things I don't like about living here, but this attitude of your fellow neighbors wanting to sue is jacked up. I've heard people say that someone was lucky to get hit by a car because they can sue and get rich. Fundamentally, that's messed up when society thinks that way. Just my 2 cents. 

 Seeing how the lawyer hasn't even made any effort to call me back, I take it you are right. I'm not losing any sleep over it after reading how many people have gone through something similar. 

 Well, the contract says this:

If buyer defaults, seller may:

1. Sue for specific performance and request the earnest money as partial payment of the purchase price; or

2. terminate the offer and have the option to: (a) request the earnest money as liquidated damages; or (b) sue for actual damages

If seller defaults, buyer may:

1. sue for specific performance; or

2. Terminate the offer and request the return of the earnest money, sue for actual damages, or both.

I guess it says both things? I'm unsure how this affects anyone.
