@Ryan Steele The bar has moved in HML since the great GFC..

@Ryan Steele That's one of the initial thoughts I had about how the tenants would still feel as if they were the owners.

Thank you @Rodney Walker , @ Brian L , @Ryan Steele for the welcome.

I looked with in me 1st, so now I wear casual attire with my steel toe boots and tool bag. yes it is purple but its a TOOL BAG.

@Ryan Steele-You are certainly correct, Milwaukee is a VERY highly taxed community, not only through our very high property taxes but also through a multitude of other ways, things like how City of Milwaukee residents have to pay a "wheel tax" on any car they register with the state DMV, I think its $20 extra a year now.

@Ryan Steele I'm so grateful that you have replied to my post with such helpful information.

@Robert Steele unfortunately this kind of tactic is becoming more common.

Mine will have my name on it and my phone number, that's all, noting else, no business name, nothing about RE or notes or steel fabrication or boats or business consultation......Just my name and number and plenty of blank space to jot down a written note.Chances are, anyone I hand my card to will likely remember me and why they got my name.
