Cold Stone sales have gone down in the last few years as Minchie's and a bunch of yogurt knock offs have came out where customers want something lighter.

The new poly tanks are far lighter than the old concrete tanks.

A good agent will sell you and your offer to the listing agent effectively, and most good investor agents are known as such by the listing agents, and carry a lot of weight that things will get done smoothly and professionally. 

Let me explain -In January I had a freak gym accident - I've never been a gym goer but with the advent of my 2nd child I decided it was time to get healthy for my family, I was 315 pounds and really over weight so over the last 8 months I've lost 82 pounds but that's a story for another time.

In my honest opinion, I think you may be putting too much weight on the gender thing.Sellers like to work with people who1.

They are worth their weight in gold as a real estate investor.
