You are looking at a much higher rate, unless you are pounding nails too.  

Once a tenant is procured, the agent wants a pound of flesh every time a lease is renewed. 5% of the annual rent was one agent's fee.

I have the feeling the only way to find that is pounding the pavement.

People never cease to pound the "it must cash flow or it is a bad investment" drum though when this is patently ludicrous.

BTW-Pawn shops carry them and actually think there is a company that buys the unwanted gift cards and sells them online.

Having been a licensed California Real Estate Broker back in the 80s and 90s, it was always pounded in us to present "the highest and best" offer available to a seller.

In this sense, a dollar is a dollar, and that allows me to compare the worth of two objects, let's say guns and butter for the sake of days in econ classes.Gold could be used in this way, saying an ounce is worth half of a gun and a pound of butter.

Both at best weight about 50 pounds, but for a long time both were overweight.

I thought about moving our antique temporarily for some concrete work, but the cost of removing and replacing the freon (4 to 6 pounds at $30 per plus labor) was out of the question.

The first week was great- expect when we realized that our neighbors behind us we on vacation and had returned. the family is a bunch of screamers, the mother, father and the 4 or so children. the parents often allow the children to hang out in the back yard for hours and hours and all they do is scream- (high pitch psychotic screaming). they have barely no backyard- is consists of a squeezed in lap pool, a full concrete yard and tall glass sliding doors. these were all approved by the arb and now they only accelerate the volume of noise they create. their screams bounce off of their concrete and house and project into our yard and THROUGH our windows and into our house.we asked them to talk and expressed how much the volume travels into our home- but the father was very rude, told be to f off and the mother said there is nothing she can do to stop it.the worse part is- my fiance has a panic anxiety condition and he just recently reached out and is seeking professional help with a certified psychiatrist and is also now enrolled in a cognitive behavioral program. we did not know he was suffering from panic attacks all these years- i honestly thought he was bipolar or mentally sick. with new hope that he may be able to learn to control his anxiety attacks this new issue with the neighbors has only made this situation worse. we purposely stay away from large crowds or loud events because it makes him have an episode and he becomes very ill. even now i am still trying understand it-i need to help him and decided that i need to stay by his side.i spoke with the property manager and she suggested submitting plans to the ARB for putting up a 5' x 6' fountain and to contact local authorities and file noise complaints. the issue is that my fiance is only getting worse (he has been out of a job for 6 years and i finally had hope he might get better and start working again)- a fountain wont stop the screaming noise we hear every single day. local authorities said to document noise and record- i have.now i am at the point that my fiance has lost 10 pounds in one week, he is constantly having attacks and if something doesn't stop the noise he will only get worse.what are my options?
