It reminds me of a saying from one of my favorite cartoon characters, Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) said: "I find it easier to keep everyones expectations low, so I don't have to try hard."

I'm going to toss out one of my favorite sayings on this subject and then add a little to this discussion: "Most people don't know what the hell they're talking about when it comes to taxes."

they are by far my favorite when it comes to shorting.Easiest to contact the negotiator via email.

p=seocoach&w=features.html ******************************************************Question to U - What is exactly you want to do with your website then I can maybe help better, bu will make suggestion for now.Xsitepro is my favorite tool of choice for making quick sites on the fly that has some *** kicking features built specifically for those whom are internet marketing focused, this was the biggest reason I went for it, in addition the support is awesome, without support you will find yourself wasting time and getting frustrated.If you are weak in SEO, has built in features to force you to do seo to your site, then has many tools in addition to help you market online without going all over the place on the net looking for them and inserting them on your site.Xsitepro .....is for internet marketers period!!!!!

Great topic.In my experience I have seen some very inexperienced investors stumble through a deal (to their credit) in spite of their negotiating skills.Their biggest weapon was coming at the discussions from the place of how they could solve the sellers problem(s).Of course... those that developed more advanced negotiating skills not only increase their profits, they also got more deals to the closing table.One of my all time favorite negotiating books, one that I require all of my clients to read, is The Secrets of Power Negotiating by Roger Dawson.
