Be gentle...

We all know how easily statistics can be massaged to illustrate any point a person would like to make.  

They have a range of just scratch & dent, to gently used, and down to pretty well used appliances. 

Hi @Ben Morand, How about working in Orlando while you're in college, but at the same time start gently marketing to your sphere of influence in Gainesville, providing them with information on a once a month business that helps them get more value, safety or enjoyment out of their homes, or updates them on the market?

Everything else the tenant has done has been of her own accord, despite me gently and repeatedly stating that "Denise has it covered." 

But I know they're only asking in such an overly gentle manner because they've had stuck up brats before (and seen plenty on social media) whining about how if they stayed at a Hilton they wouldn't have to "pay a cleaning fee and then clean the property myself", where apparently spending 10 seconds wheeling a trashcan 20 feet is "cleaning the whole property" themselves.Again, I'm just glad I have mostly larger (and some rural) properties where those kind of guests aren't frequent. 

Please be gentle if this is a stupid question.

I like 10 year fixed debt because you have almost a full average cycle period to decide at what time you want to sell or refi a stabilized asset.I do not believe in massaging debt with 3 to 5 year lower rates just to make a property pencil.I have bank lenders that act like CMBS but are not CMBS so you save on legal costs but they will do in many cases 10 year fixed in the mid 4's at 65% to 70% LTV with a 30 year amortization schedule for retail center properties and 100% non-recourse.

Don't worry, I'll be gentle!  

How can I gently tell them I need to learn more about them first before showing it to them?
