I always get the story that the dog is "just visiting" and I tell them that dogs cannot even step foot on the parking lot.  As others said, don't wait to act.

 Yes it is hypocritical

Yes

 Awesome.  I am lucky enough to know a great carpet guy who does my carpet, but it's always valuable to know how to do it yourself in case you're in a huge hurry and to make sure those you contract do it well.  If you have the time, by all means do it yourself.

I recently purchased an apartment building that will need several shower mixing valves replaced.  I've always used Symmons Temptrol and I never had one fail.  At $130, they are a little pricey but not outrageous.  Before I invest in several more, what specific brand/model do you plumbers out there prefer?

How do you handle this situation?

The prospective tenant applies, says they want the apartment, pays the deposit and says they will be back in a few days with the rent and will move in.  We don't yet sign the lease.  A few days later, she says that she changed her mind.  Do you keep the deposit or give it back?

Glass top.  Coils are much harder to clean.

John, your diagram shows just as much free time at the end (with all the success) as there was in the beginning, which is rarely the case.

My workload keeps increasing and I'm outsourcing more but I'd be a fool to think I will ever have the free time I had in my 20's.

 Wow!  It's amazing what dishonest people will do.

To the original poster.  This is definitely a criminal offense but getting the cops to file charges is difficult.  When it happened to me, I called the police to scare the guy a little and then I used physical measures (locks) to keep him out until he was evicted.

I have seen some banks actively negotiate an REO and others you get only one chance to get to the right price. The seller's agent, I have found, usually has a pretty good idea of how active the bank wants to be and how low they might be willing to go.
