They might start off great, but their quality diminishes over time because to maintain high quality it takes time.

I was remarking on the cleaning companies/ cleaners quality diminishing. 

With stocks, we get to log in, grit our teeth, scream at a screen, all with 0 control, just watch our $ grow or diminish. 

Since supply has diminished it would be appropriate to look at commercial loan applicants unrealistic demands with concern about the wherewithal of the applicant lodging the complaint. 

For instance, while it can bolster initial cash flow by reducing tax liability, it could diminish deductions in subsequent years (when the property might produce better cashflow), impacting overall tax footprint, so you need to take into account all that in the context of your short term and long term tax strategy (e.g. if you plan on selling soon, at which time the depreciation gets recovered, or not and planning to hold for a long term/forever/1031, buying more later and creating more depreciation to offset cashflow or not, etc.).The alternative is a do-it-yourself (DIY) or survey option, which costs around $400 to $500 per property (I can do my CSS report in 10min, once I have all the data needed).

But that risk diminishes over a longer horizon and real estate is fantastic in the long-term.Whether you invest should depend on your short- and long-term goals.

I know what works because besides the millions of pieces of mail I send for investors and agents I too use my service and I absolutely would only send out Postcards or only send out YellowLetters etc. if doing so allowed me a higher return however I know that doing so would diminish my return.

In my last post, I noted that their market share had plateaued because the supply of homes in their price range was diminishing rapidly.

Men have more testosterone, which leads to action.

Yes, more than once per month is obnoxious and will produce diminishing returns.
