My name is Mike.As a locksmith I've encountered a variety of routine service calls, but I've also responded to a few not so routine service calls.

Although it makes me uncomfortable in the next correction.

We routinely clean most of our traps once a year to clear them of toothpaste, soap, hair and gunk.  

My 10-year old son has recently become obsessed with learning how to solve the Rubik’s Cube.I’m uncertain how he became enamored with the toy.He was grounded from electronics for a week.I think it happened during that time.I watched him become very, very frustrated with the puzzle.On his own, without any guidance, he figured out how to solve one side.It took him 13 days to do this (and he practiced a LOT).Finally, he got it.He got the algorithm in his head.First, before I go on, what he did gave me great hope for his future.He persisted.Even on such a silly thing, through extreme frustration, he persisted.He’s ahead of the vast majority of his peers.Now, here’s what happened after this.He got better and better of course, continuing his practice.Once he “mastered” the one side, he became frustrated again.He had an extreme longing to learn how to do the rest, which is, if you don't know the algorithms, almost impossible to do on a routine basis.So, I looked up how to solve the thing.As it turns out, there are very specific moves that will help “easily” solve a Rubik’s Cube (even though it has a massive amount of possibilities).He sat down this past Sunday to learn the first (of many) algorithms.He learned it and had a breakthrough.By the end of that day, he was flying through that portion of the puzzle.Indeed, he had solved the puzzle four times by the end of that day, but didn’t know the algorithms by heart.

We routinely poll our clients, and what we have found over the years, is that most real estate investors that 1031 Exchange do so in order to put themselves into a better position without paying any taxes. 

I do this for everyone.The key I think is to do it routinely for everyone no matter the circumstances.

They flip houses routinely, buy at the master commissioner sale fairly often(courthouse steps), have the capability to pay with cash and close quickly.

He is divorced with two kids.I am afraid that the current tenants might feel uncomfortable with an older man in the house since there are common areas that are shared (like the laundry room in the basement).

An awful lot of landlords are loathe to return deposits.The charges presented look like routine charges for preparing a broom clean rental with normal wear and tear for the next tenant.
