The straw that broke the back was the tenant that destroyed a glass top stove that was part of a set and wanted me to fix it.  

Usually paint the bathroom in recycled glass color.

Saw a house with a For Sale by Owner sign in a yard with tall grass and after some drama, we have a house.We have dealt with long term rentals for over 15 years, but not aggressively ( keep them rented and do some improvements ).This "old house" needs, updated HVAC, new roof, new kitchen, some broken windows, upgraded electrical, water run off issues...I'm just starting to clear the house out with multiple dumpsters and starting to get quotes.  

Boom.I take this tact on many high priced or specialty or design items, like countertops, light fixtures, appliances, large glass or window replacements, mechanical anything, etc….Contractors have their preferred suppliers who they know and are reliable, but are not always the best deal.

When it's been a while since I've gotten a good deal, I find myself trying to look at any deal that comes across my desk with rose colored glasses instead of being as critical of them as I should. 

Forget the promises of education and coaching you hear, it's going to take years and years before you can stand tall with your own, hard-won insights into this business.

Investing in Punta Cana might be right for the right kind of buyers (like maybe lifestyle buyers interested in getting a little bit of extra income) but they should make sure they know what they're getting into and don't look at the opportunity with rose-tinted glasses.
