Both were renovated by the same company, and have the exact same finishes on the inside (right down to the paint color).

So I billed my wife , she picked the color 

One thing I did notice is that regardless of the car people drive the person with the most money usually comes dressed the worst.

Include a neon-colored post-it note that says: Curious what your home is really worth?

CMBS lenders have generally increased LTVs and a willingness to lend on "off color" properties and with Freddie Mac offering access to agency loan capital on small balance loans that were previously off limits to most borrowers.

Whether that be a letter with a different color envelope, or a postcard that is a different color or size.

You could also ask are you slipping in sneaker or just dress shoes?

Don't listen to the negative thoughts in your head about your age, experience, shoe size, eye color, etc.....Just Do It!

On the race subject, personally, I believe if an individual is skeptical of you because of the color of your skin than there is nothing you can do to build credibility with this person. 

dude...that's like asking what's the best car color!!
