Not sure if this is relevant to you or not, but I recently purchased a property just outside the city limits in Rock Hill as well.  

We closed a week later for $39k, which included a '98 Camaro convertible and '85 Honda CB 750 Custom and the contents of the house, and I ended up trading all of the extra stuff in exchange for work on the house.  

great points.. and its what really makes working all over the country interesting.. especially when it comes to title work as you described.. not sure how you folks close in CO  Attorney or Title company.. but in Attorney states your not getting title pulled and committed to in any short period of time. you would think though that if the OP has a pipeline to a great wholesaler in your area that wholesaler takes on the duty of checking title. when I was doing foreclosure rescue in ORegon and Washington ( before it became illegal) we closed many a deal within 24 hours. and or same day.. but of course we took them with whatever hair we had on them and took the risk.. got burnt a few times. but our title plants and our customer service here in our area is over the top good..

I  think you will continue to do more as a customer as a result, Did self-checkout come from the rising cost to pay cashiers?

Customize Execute Organize ( in no particular order )

I came across a couple of people who said they do not have a customer service number and a lot of people were not comfortable giving personal  information to a company that does not provide a phone number to contact them.

Shiller emphasizes 2 things that are required to be an efficient market: the equal availability of new relevant information and the ability to directly bet or  hedge against market movements.The ability to bet against housing is there via CDO's and maybe other investment vehicles I don't know about, but I don't think the scale is large enough to compare to the affect shorting has on the stock market.

Customers need to lease 100% to maximize business.I would set up a management contract for salary plus bonus.  

Not sure if car lease comparison is relevant.

I see Airmen wait 1-2 months for pay occasionally...its annoying and poor customer service.
