(drum roll, please) . . . 2014! 

I am petrified of November and December.There is a constant drum beat of disregard to the rental contract.

Keep following everyone's path and don't take one step off of it.I'll share this with you: I usually follow the beat of my own drum, and hardly ever listen to what people say or think.

Some dyers have plastic rollers that the drum turn on.

Having an idea of how many VIABLE candidates you can drum up in a short period of time will give you a sense of whether you should consider raising rents for the whole building and/or how quickly you could raise rents.

Little less cash flow out here and competitive market, so that might be one reason why...Seems like lots of Houston/texas investors on here (many from CA), so you might be able to drum up quite a bit of business if you connect with them..

And, most multi developers are simply looking for pretty renderings up front to drum up interest (with the promise of more work -- and payment to come post-funding), and then the required stamp on the other end.  

Having done a lot of reading (including J Scott's book) the 70% rule has been drummed into us. 

The real benefit is to the Realtor having the open house beingable to drum up more business.

I'm just not here to 'find' a 'savior,' or drum- up more business, per se'.
