Did I strike a nerve?

This one strikes me as having some devious or less than ethical elements.

With its prime location and striking aesthetic, this transformed property offers unparalleled visibility and appeal.

For some things I have a 3 strike policy.

Of course if you do strike out with the Site length committee, this money is all just water under the bridge.

Second, I received a request from State Farm today: Please provide the gross sales/receipts amount for the insured location(s) as reflected on their most recently completed tax filing or anticipated gross sales for the upcoming fiscal year.This strikes me as a little weird and perhaps I shouldn't jump to the conclusion that this info will be used against us (and result in a higher premium).

There isn't a special provision for "act of God" having no impact.For instance, if lightning strikes your house and you file a claim, it still counts as a claim and your insurance price could increase or eligibility for coverage could be affected. 

Yep, not striking out this year!!!!  

In the finance world you have one, two and three strikes you are out. 

Here are the numbers: Appraised Value: $250,000I Owe: $150,000 Homes in the immediate area: Selling for $1.3 million I would like to figure out how to strike a win-win deal with an investor/ spec home builder where I get my full value of the land (once the project is done) and a small percentage of the overall project profit
