It blows me away why we continue to purchase Chinese manufactured products; especially construction, food and safety.

Develop services and consulting that save your clients money, create new efficiencies, and drive productivity.

Some will suggest combinations of methods that are really old ideas but present the way as being new or revolutionary for their marketing spin of a product.

Watching TV and drinking alcohol are two of the biggest time sucks there are. 2 glasses of wine and your evening just stopped being productive.

Get proof of that income and verify that it is consistent (same in Jan 13 as Jan 14) and not dependent on oil prices or production levels or some other external factors that she cannot control.In addition, I think the $3K on $1600 rent is pretty slim, I would want to see the persons last 3 mos of bank statements to see if they have some savings built up or if they are living oil check to oil check.I would not be excited about renting to 2 unemployed adults with 3 different pets.

I am a bit surprised that I am having trouble finding a bank (bank, local credit union, etc will all be referred to as the bank) that will finance a deal and was looking for some additional insight.I have a productive rental (with mortgage) but it is making it a bit tough to find conventional financing for a primary residence (2 years tax returns required with rental).

Meaning, invest in the right product (which is the one you understand) close enough to home to where you can address any emergencies, and when supplying housing to people, you have things fixed properly so you do not have those "midnight calls" that people frivolously talk about.

Have a great and productive day everyone!
