I have a few nonprofits in mind (ATL Mission, Dress for Success, The Gateway Center, and Year Up).How did everyone else do???

I'd reconsider that for heat because it is a fairly predictable number, but electricity and water are absolute no-go.As for the tenants complaining to you about it, I might suggest in very diplomatic terms that they grow up and handle their problems like big boys and girls.

In his more diplomatic way of communicating than mine, he let the listing agent know that this was our best offer when he presented the counter.

I'm from Orange County also (Mission Viejo). 

I'm on a mission on BP to bring analysis and systematic thinking to real estate investment.  

But our entire mission of being landlords is to keep tenants long term, not to see how many evictions we can have in a year!  

As a part of this mission we would like to help educate anyone, especially our guests as we learn valuable tools that benefit all.

I just made it my mission in life to find the RIGHT people to work with.

McAllen-Edinburg-Mission had a 6.2 percent unemployment rate, the highest in the state.The information industry lost 0.1 percent of jobs over the month.

Today; perhaps even more than in the past, brand/reputation is mission critical to your success.
