That's why I'm currently training new staff to ensure we can always deliver properties with the required quality standard and efficiency.By the way, do you think it would be interesting to offer some basic customizations, like themed paper products or towels, during specific holiday months? 

Why not just ask the seller since they'd already declined a $1M offer instead of having us do more work.From my perspective, if they want to sell, they have a verbal offer they can accept, and if they don't want to present a verbal offer, the seller probably isn't very motivated.What would be the point of sending a formal offer in this scenario?

Building plans are 'instruments of service' not products.

Two of the books that have helped me when I was in your position are Start with Strategy - https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/start-with-strategyThe Book on Estimating Rehab costs - https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/the-book-on-estimat...Since you like the podcasts - these are available as audio books and broken into audio chapters so you can listen just like podcasts!

Supply and DemandIn real estate, prices and rents are determined by the imbalance between the number of buyers and sellers.When there are more sellers than buyers, prices decline until there is a rough balance between the number of buyers and sellers.When the number of buyers exceeds the number of sellers, prices increase until there is a rough balance between the number of buyers and sellers.Rents follow prices.Higher prices reduce the number of people who can purchase, increasing demand for rental properties and increasing rents.Lower prices enable more people to purchase, decreasing demand for rental properties and decreasing rents.What determines demand?

I'd like to start with flushing every few years and replacing the anode rod every 5 years or just once with one of these powered rods.I am skeptical of the very positive product reviews since the review really needs to be submitted 10+ years after the installation to be meaningful and they never are.

"Clean history" means they are productively holding a job, paying their bills, building their credit, and doing all the things a responsible citizen does.

In some markets values are declining and I expect that to become widespread.It costs about 10% of the value of the property to sell, on top of that.

They're already declining and are expected to continue throughout the year.

i appreciate any valuable info about the loan product !!
