For example, the last sale I did, they required that I remove the brand new stainless fridge because it didn't have an ice-maker (they didn't ask for a credit or a replacement...just that I get it out of there before closing).Most of them are looking for 7-10 days of due diligence, so that could make double closing difficult, but I imagine they'd do it (I've never tried).

Anyway... having the ice cold steely eyed final arbiter has been beneficial in keeping my over enthusiasm from creating financial loss.

We personally have a whole house water filter by https://ecosoft.com/ in our just purchased house for filtering just cold water which we use for drinking, cooking, ice etc.

I'm an agent, so I'm not anti agent/broker, I just think there is a lot of housing supply frozen in ice because sellers need a real partner to work through various issues they have before they can sell.

There was a short period of time where nearly everybody was a winner but the cream has risen to the top and the rest have spoiled. 

Or like we had a cream we had to rub in our cat's ear for heart failure that we would get from a compounding pharmacy.  

I've heard it said that cash flow is the cake and appreciation is the icing but it's been the exact opposite for me.

Operating as a STR is icing on the cake.If just buying an already performing asset, I'd expect that to be baked into the price.

If they are really undocumented you can turn him in to ICE.

This law will do nothing to curb the ( I don't really need the money agent) It will flush more of the part timers or ones who are trying to make a full time living out of the bizz if they don't already have a good book of clients or are very hard workers and or those with extraordinary skill sets either in on line marketing or Belly to Belly you know can sell Ice to an Eskimo..
