But, I guarantee you, if I hadn't been firm about it from the get go, he would have tried to milk up as much time as he could. 

I can’t cry over spilled milk.

This isn’t going to be a free for all Where tenants live for free and milk the government or us...2.

Why buy the cow when the milk is free. ?

Back in Normandy, my neighbor has ten cows and two daughters to milk them.

No real estate person anywhere has EVER done anything sleazy and backhanded and slimy to make a shady buck...oh no...buncha angels with little gold halos and milk running through our veins...a warm little pat of butter wouldn't melt in our mouths...

The notion that inflation is zero is false; the cost of education is twice what it was 10 years ago, the cost of milk, cheese, cars etc.Would we ever accept a 0 net return on investments we make?

Wouldn't be surprised if they start referring to milk as a large container instead of a gallon and shave it down to 110-120 ounces.  

One Is a beef cow you slaughter and have a fantastic steak ONCE and the other is a top grade milking cow that you collect a gallon of milk twice a day for 30 years...I choose the milk cow.

What is worse, they swear up and down that when they use these "value finders" that they aren't using comparable sales..so they won't let you submit comparable sales to back up your offer...but how can they possibly determine a value without comparable sales...then, they order appraisals and not BPO's...appraisals have a section in them that lists comparables...they are full of it.But..I digress...so ya a few were Countrywide...one actually let me order my own BPO to challenge the appraisal they got..which of course the got back in September and were stuck on the value even in December.
