I don't say this to brag but rather to emphasize the point that my education has always been something that I took very seriously.

Emphasize that you were willing to pay for the tub to be refinished so it's not as if you're a cheap skate.

Look out agents they are going to double down and they want to own the entire process [flipping business was a small hiccup enroute to their real estate domination] from brokerages, lending and various other affiliated services ie; title, warranties , insurance etc. make those higher margins more emphasized and more efficient they will be a force to reckon with.

I was just emphasizing than investing int Costa Rica isn't necessarily a slam dunk.

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to do ALL of the due diligence that they listed.I'm a GC in DC and we also ask for a deposit but it varies based on the size of the job.

I just believe it's important to EMPHASIZE this rule strictly considers CASH FLOW and nothing else.It does bug me when somebody posts a potential deal here and the first thing they hear is the 50% rule.

Hello @William Roberts ,I worked for Hewlett-Packard and IBM for over twenty years and one thing they continuously emphasized was to set a clear goal and then measure everything you do by whether it gets you closer or further from your goal.

I went to college and got a business degree that emphasized real estate.  

I got a college degree in business that emphasized real estate as  well as a broker license in Texas in 1980.

You don't want to emphasize a repair, you want to emphasize features of the property.
