To some degree the idea of lawyering up or calling CFPB promotes this reaction of lackadaisical follow through.  

Hi, I'd like to allow my renters to keep Pits and large breeds, and promote myself as a dog-friendly landlord.

Maybe more so focus on getting promoted in any department that you work to where you manage people under you and then those skills will translate into managing tenants and employees as your own business grows.

This will limit my tenant pool, but may promote retention. 

The real owner (also a local wholesaler that I will call Mike) called me up and asked why I am promoting his deal.

@Jay Hinrichs Spencer is just on this site to promote himself and his company.

Let's promote an environment of networking and mentoring that cost us nothing and karma will reward you. 

There are proposals in US Congress to eliminate the IRS Section 1031 Tax Free Exchanges, which have been in the tax cade since 1924.http://www.realtor.org/news-releases/2015/07/nar-survey-finds-like-kind-exchanges-promote-job-economic-growth

He knew about business, legal issues, tax issues, marketing, sales, promotion, networking, and most importantly he knew about people (psychology).The first thing he did was tell me that I have two ears and one mouth, and I should listen more than I talk.Second thing he did was have me read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.Then he taught me how to set appointments with home sellers, go out to their home, and write up a "letter of intent to purchase or lease".He said to me, "your job is to bring me potential home sellers who will consider a creative offer."

My line of thinking is if a house costs close to $2,000,000, then then promotional materials ought at least reflect the value of the property.Take for example the flyer belowI took the same photos and information brightened them up a bit (they're still bad photos, can't do anything about that at this point), rearranged them, and produced the flyer below.Do you think I could get people to pay for my design services?
