I am hoping Marco will be the exception. ya me to.. however I suspect he has some complicated situations and it may take more than 30 days to come up with something they can live with.. but if I was him I would be sending out an e mail once a week .. even if it was to say I have not forgotten and we are still here and working on it..

I bought a Carlton Sheets course in the 90s for $75..... so far, all info is the same except updated.

The VAs you provided have been exceptional, and I’m excited for what’s next!

The tools that are offered are exceptionally useful and user friendly.  

I'm a property manager and I absolutely refuse to work with cosigners (except for full-time college students).
