These machines are expensive.

I picked up a used Maxwriter Handwriting Machine a year ago on ebay for 7,500 it does signatures,postcards,notes and letters. It uses  almost any writing utensil. its not fast, it writes at human speed. 

There are cheaper alternatives for just signatures

When i need to mass produce something, I use a laser printer with a custom font that's close to my handwriting. there is a trick with MS word using a macro that causes a letter to be printed twice and it looks just like handwriting. you would need a magnifying glass to tell it was printed

it depends on what you are looking for the person to do.

Contact your PA lawyer and have him contact a NV attny, they actually have a networking web site for that. Or you aska NV attny for the forms and file them yourself.

Sorry, I've followed Redfin for years, there is so much BS in their quarterly reports, its not worth reading. Bottom line is redfin is a concierge real estate brokerage. It's real estate agents have NO concern about the real estate transaction other then the piece they are paid for. The lawsuits are mounting nationwide and it's only a matter of time before some lawyer or lawyer group requests a class action lawsuit because of the lack of representation that concierge broker services bring.

No, too small to see. However , QB has a built in COA for realtors,pm,and general bookkeeping. If you use the built in accounts, at tax time, your accountant can just import the file, do you year end close out and shoot the file back to you, saves time and accounting fees

. top down views actually decrease the showings, especially if room sizes are given.
. I paint all my units white, photo company can change color of a wall with photoshop. I allow tenants to paint 1 living room wall, and charge a fee to repaint at end of lease.

In Maryland the rule of thumb is disclose, disclose,disclose, no matter what the law says. If a neighbor tells a buyer or tenant, the resulting lawsuit could be ruinous. By disclosing and proving it was properly remediated, you will probably save yourself a future headache, Also check with an insurance agent to ask the ramification of a former meth house.

. Owner financing (negotiated terms)
. Partner up with someone for an equity stake
. Partner up with multiple people.

. they are considered a trailer by most lenders
. They deprecate rapidly

Hard money is the most costly option 12% plus on interest, squeeze and other costs, and most HML want input on rehab projects. Also HML generally look for short term turn around 3-6 months , they like to get in and get out. I would talk to a lender about getting a HELOC on your properties and using your own equity to buy.
