But yes no doubt it definitely shielded some poor investments and made the guys vacuuming up properties in 2015-2019 look like geniuses.

Airline tickets alone cost me almost that every year when the wife and I fly over to Asia.Only when you realize what money truly is will you have the internal power to easily dispose of it.

@Shawn Ackerman   my current ride.. bought it brand new in 04   http://cirrusaircraft.com/aircraft/sr22/  so go forth and wholesale a bunch of homes and such so you can get out of using the airlines..

Even from our HQ in FL I can likely outperform you on revenue for a few reasons:1 - We have partnerships with 15+ listing sites, including Marriot Homes + Villas, JetBlue and Allegiant Airlines, coming soon Amex Travel portal and Hyatt's VR site. 

BUT there are a few industries that are required to allow both service animals and ESA's...lodgings (hotels/motels), airlines, and housing (rentals). 

As my wife worked for an airline, so I phrase it "We moved from a coach retirement to a first-class retirement". 

The original example of offering full price and netting the seller more is created in a vacuum, compared to what's really going on these days.

Not ever seller will value this, but when they think about it some might...and for some it will be a big relief.When I was thinking of buying in Bay area 20 years ago and there might be 70 offers on a property, people got real creative with what they did to woo sellers...flowers, wine, airline tickets, vacation stays, etc. 

I wrote about it in the below article.http://www.reluctantlandlord.net/southwest-airlines-model-my-inspiration/I am finding great shortsales, (albeit they are fewer and take forever) that are in great neighborhoods.

But starting at 8, you can task your child with stuffing envelopes, taking out the office trash, vacuuming floors or even doing door hangers.At age 12, they could do all of the above plus, perhaps, begin mowing lawns at rental properties, cleaning rentals for turnover, perhaps touch up painting.At age 16, they can then answer phones, do some computer work, do some more advanced maintenance and repairs, do bank runs, supply shopping, etc.When my son was about 5 through 9, I paid him $5/hour to stuff envelopes.
