I wear slip on shoes so that I don't have to take the time to tie them.  

You are not in my shoes.

Given that i am in California, what would you do if you were in my shoes?

The concrete was apparently the backdrop for this tennis shoe Picasso, because the ground was spray painted yellow as well.

Here's a tip hiring a discount broker; put yourself in their shoes, see what they must do and expenses they have in a deal.

@Travis HauserIf I were in your shoes with young children (I'm assuming pre-school age) I would buy my first rental property (sfh or small multi) as an owner occupant - Live there for a few months or a year and move to your second rental property as an owner occupant - repeat as often as possible - Once your kids are school age, this will become less attractive because you will want to keep the kids in the same schools

Never underestimate a simple stroll or bike ride through neighborhoods.

Yes, you would be stepping in the shoes of the seller....with the tenant having an option to buy.  

My wife (who notices such things) thinks it wasn't great to begin with.Gail, your question of putting myself in her shoes is a good one, and that cuts to the heart of the matter.

As a woman who one upon a time had a major collection of shoes, a well designed closet only adds to the credibility of the rehabber.
