Once you get them relaxed talking to you, take their answers and use them to explain why you can solve their problems.Good luck!

so why take your time.the slower you run your roller the less paint will fly over you and the floorso dont move too quicklyif you move your brush too quickly you will get bare spots so move slowly and evenly or at least just fast enough so the coverage is even and paint doesent start flying all over the place.keep a paint station this is where you will do all your pouring mixing keep your applicator and brushes it should be centrally located to your work area i used a large cardboard box opened up and laid flat. this is a great way to stay focused and avoid accidents like kicking over your paint cleaning up your toolsthis part can be very relaxing sit on the edge of your bathtubstart with your brush run the water and pretend your painting the the bottom of the tub under water keep checking the brush until the water runs clearnext take the roller and roll the tub while the water is running all your paint should come out the roller do this step leisurely way like a good lazy land lord next wash your tray for this step use your rag and while the water is runnning just wash it will take a couple of minutes to get clean take your time be slow and deliberate finally wash your rag and you are all done.that is it stay tuned for lazy landlords guideto floor repair

Second, we told the tenants we would not be raising the rents at this time - this helped them relax and open up to us. 

That being said, we enjoy the relaxed, family oriented community; and people still need places to live and people to provide nice rental/purchase options, right?! 

NOTES Baby the only way to go.. make money pay tax and relax..

Most states were pretty relaxed on the issue in the past, but they're getting pretty strict now.Assigning the contract may avoid the legalities, but maybe not.

Theres a lot of debt to go around in my house, as my younger brother (19) has a combination of a defect in his aorta valve as well as the disease hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (probably spelled that wrong, its the same disease that most of the young highschool atheletes died of on the court/field from being undiagnosed, thankfully his aorta defect allowed for frequent testings and caught it ahead of time) and a mytochondrial defficiency in his skeletal muscles.

It's helpful to get this drilled into your head early, as you'll build up a mental muscle to avoid spending money on depreciating assets.

@Grace Carney Hello and welcome to BP, a great place to work your out your investor muscles. 

If I had a dollar for each time I have been lied to by an agent, seller, buyer, lender...you name it, I'd have a lot more time to relax!
