@Jay Hinrichs,  there are so many things wrong with this story 1) No Multi Factor authentication ( It's a feature with google apps you just have to turn it on ) 2) Poor password discipline 3) Your vendor is accepting non encrypted non digitally signed emails :-((  There are companies like https://www.mimecast.com/ that are "relatively" easy for business to consume as part of their processes thus providing for secure messaging There are so MANY companies that don't have the proper tooling or processes to enhance security and thus combat fraud.

@Robert Lindsley - it's not good at all.First of all, pictures must be flattering, use some simple enhancing - light, cropping etc.

Tax rates for higher-bracket individuals and a long list of “extenders” provisions such as the child tax credit, the enhanced education credits and the optional deduction for state and local sales tax, hang in the balance.

Whether a multi-family reposition where you are enhancing a community for tenants, or you are a wholesaler that brings to the table quality product, what does providing value mean to you?

Investors often say they can do without one and massage the numbers to buy something.
