I hired Jenny Yi to design our latest STR in person, she demanded that I pay the full amount of her services upfront, $7,500, which I thought was strange as we are used to paying half upfront and half once it's completed, but proceeded anyway because a couple of people recommended her.

By the way if I see the same proposition that was previously on the ballot and got struck down, I automatically vote against it on principle regardless of how I voted for it when it was initially on the ballot.  

Do you collect cash via PayPal/venmo/Zelle and then refund, or use credit card payment process to allow the guest to pay the deposit by credit card?

However they made it clear that unless we would pay them something unreasonable, they weren’t leaving without a fight.

I know lots of installers don't do it, and I personally prefer the unimpeded look, but anything installed outside of the requirements of the material is probably going to be limited, i.e. the insurance company is not going to pay you because the material was not installed according to flooring requirements. 

It’s likely to at least pay for itself or help the property sell faster.Talk to a few local agents to confirm how much buyers in the area value a garage.

Hi @Briley Roe,Is this the loan estimate or initial closing disclosure? 

Debt pay down and appreciation is gravy.Is this serious or sarcasm?

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

So while that’s a great asset you pay more for it typically.
