I would buy an expensive bicycle, one of those fancy carbon frame ones. 

Don't focus on what others are buying like a fancy new car. 

We took the "five generation photo" once again for this holiday (my wife's great grandmother is 96) and we don't for one second take that for granted.We all had a big laugh because my wife's sister made the "dressing" side dish by following great grandmother's recipe...which was written down wrong...1/4 cup thyme and 1/4 cup sage...yuck. 

Hey @Tony Perrella first off I am not an expert in this asset class, but I do fancy myself a bit of an underwriting guru so I'll take a crack at this from that angle. 

Let me know which hood in Columbus fancys you. 

I don’t call the big boys with fancy websites, offices and vehicles. 2.I ask them all to meet me at the project site collectively, yes all at the same time.

The dress code thing is a good point.Another point is your presentation, it is how you present to your client that would make them remember you.In saying this, you have to gauge your client's personality so you can use the proper approach and nail your presentation.In general people tend to forget facts but will remember how they feel about it.

., I don't think I'll be getting the fancy ones that have any kind of remote capabilities, although that would be really nice as I could easily add a contractor code to one apartment and then remove it at the end of the day so he/she no longer has access.

Well it's about 94 degrees that day and I'm dressed in a suit and not exactly wearing the shoes to be taking the two mile walk we're about to go on, but how am I saying no at this point? 

That covers cleaning, dressing the beds, throwing our garbage, etc.
