You bear all the risk and the sponsor gets a big cut, while make preposterous fees all along the way.

They NEVER EVER cut the grass so the weeds are all over my backyard chain-link fence that divides our properties. 

Conversely, you will run into people on your list that just seem to be a waste of time, so you’ll want to avoid them.

The sink cut out is the same, the undermount sink/install is the same and the difference between $45 and $60-$75/sf surfaces is not significant.

I had one applicant say that he had all the information in a word document and could I cut and paste it in.  

If it isn't working, don't waste your time.

I should add so many agents here, are gonna tell you this ******** about renting being a waste, but it’s literally cheaper by in some cases thousands a month when factoring in repairs, you can put excess savings into index funds etc. every single friend I have all of whom are pretty fiscally savvy have made the same calculation, I even have a good friend who is trying to sell his condo to rent because his monthly expenses will decrease when he sells his condo & he can be in a better area.

How they overcame it is either finish out the project and don't use them again or cut them loose and get a new contractor to finish the work!

Now we were out there in April with a plumber due to roots in the sewer line, the plumber and I were there for around 4 hours he ran a camera through the lines and cut out all the roots and then ran the camera through it again and the line was clear.

I used to require completed applications (free) to do showings so as to not waste my time.
