People who are successful versus failed with OOS tend to follow certain patterns.

Its already too many opportunities to fail if you are in the same town, on top of it daily.

But with perseverance and a willingness to explore unconventional options, you can turn even the toughest situations into successes.Have any of you ever faced a deal that seemed destined to fail?

There have been brokerages offering flat fees and failed.

@MIchael McCUe   I get it, it feels like an incredible weight that you could easily lift with bankruptcy.

They've tried three times, and it's failed every time before even getting to a full vote in either chamber.

I like umbrella because there is no worry of being pierced for inadequate separation of finances, if sued you have a heavy weight in your corner who has all the consequences of a defeat, and because usually it is reasonably priced (mine today is not so reasonably priced but I believe it is mostly related to the risks of CA).I do understand that the probability of needing the umbrella policy is low.  

I believe that you don't get returns (failed to deliver) with bulk mailers so you don't know which addresses are bad.That's the simple stuff.My advice is to do various mailings that you or some prepares locally, that go out immediately, using 1st class postage.

If you aren't willing to  suffer, you will fail.
