@Alyssa K.If you get the clear coat off muriatic acid wash should suffice (check with mortar company)Usually what happens with these things is 90% easily comes off but the last 10% is a pain.You could try Jasco paint remover but that is a bit messy especially for expectant mothers.

Company #2 may have other expenses - property tax, insurance, roof repair, landscaping, window washing and depreciation expense (my favorite).  

After that, it's wash, rinse, repeat!  

Frank,The Hand Car Wash will probably be the deciding factor for most companies. 

My thought is did the power company put that pole in before the cut, or after.If it was after, perhaps the pole goes extra deep, down through the hilly area and below the ground level of the driveway.If it was before the cut, will a retaining wall be enough to hold back the leverage of a big storm, or will you have a downed pole and a bunch of scattered blocks.Leverage is a powerful thing.Cost to move the pole might be less than a wall, but you still have a septic tank in that hillside.If that starts to wash out, it will be unpleasant, but maybe you could move it somewhere else if that happens.Just my 2 cents. 

The higher loan amount of the owner occupant is ballpark a wash with the higher rate of the investor, who is borrowing less due to the larger down payment.You can scale it up and down easily.

.…..Invest in it.Just like all things in life, the greater you invest, the greater the reward.Treat the Turkey with Respect.....Wash the Turkey well...…..Spread Spices Evenly.....Cook Covered (initially) Low and Slow.....Every 30-40 Minutes Baste the Turkey Generously.....Uncover the Turkey to Add Golden Color and Crispiness.........ENJOY!

The evidence is there but the brain washed are refusing to accept it.

So...you wash the leaves of the darn house plants and shake out your shoes. 

Makes one wonder which country put them together and on the long trip over to your local stores if some damage too place.My first "new" washing machine after graduate school and moving to start my first professional job was from Sears (the only place one could get appliances at that time).
