I've been lucky in that I have a few RE Agents who are "delicate" pit bulls.

Like in a meth house, the emissions permeate everything, the two-by-fours, the trusses, the fabric in yourfurniture, your clothes."

But my friend had a spare weekend to do the sanding, so I took the help while I could get it... fortunately I work at a manufacturing plant, so there is plenty of cardboard and fabric laying around I’ll put down now.

I'm a 31 year old jewelry designer and fabricator living in NYC.I have no experience in real estate aside from riding shotgun when I was a kid with my mom during her open houses and property showings. 

Also, I need to be a little delicate in how I approach a lower price since my best friend and him are pretty close.  

It goes without saying that refinance is a delicate topic as current interest rates will either help or hurt you in the process, combined with potentially expensive closing costs and a reamortiation on your loan.

All of it has very high quality fabric.

You need to handle the situation delicately as they are probably distressed and in need of help.

We all have to strike a delicate balance between offering educational material and offering advice (which we cannot do). 

Fabricating such information could land you in legal trouble.
