How your offer is structured matters as well if you were all cash with verifiable funds in the bank and waiving inspection that carries more weight than a regular loan or using hard money tied to conditions to get the loan.

I'm not sure if it has any real benefit to the resultant value attributed to our properties as most lenders - and appraisers - fail to give sufficient weight to the benefit of improving a properties energy efficiency.

I tend to think smaller homes look bigger with lighter colors.

Much lighter and they don't stab you in the car seat.Rich - with all due respect you may be the only Texan I know who doesn't have a gun regardless of the neighborhood you're in.

It is often lighter (but with those featherweight comes a nasty kick), and sometimes easier to conceal.

Also, if your time horizon is 5-10 years, you are right to value cash-flow more, but if like me you will hold your properties 15-20 years or more, then equity has some weight.

I spoke to family of the offender, and I honestly believe he got a bad break (serious baby momma drama - not to get all men's rights activist here, but it is truly unholy how much weight the word of a woman-scorned carries in our justice system, particular if the accused cant afford a decent attorney.)

A good property manager will be more than worth their weight in gold. 

Focus and celebrate how well you eat each day rather than on your weight loss. 

Quit Claim Deeds typically have little or no weight in Texas as Title Companies normally will not accept a Quit Claim Deed.
