Good marketing is not like using a vending machine where you drop in a few coins, pull a lever and get a pre wrapped, ready to eat, snack dropped right in your hands, right when you want.

. ;-) Oops, this destroys your case: (you'd better hide this and not use it in your arguments)[5] The TCPA makes it “unlawful for any person within theUnited States, or any person outside the United States if therecipient is within the United States ... to use any telephonefacsimile machine, computer, or other device to send, to atelephone facsimile machine, an unsolicited advertisement[.]”"

That is what it all boils down to.If a lender asks what your plan is and you say there is a new slot machine in Vegas you want to try out, that probably isn't going to fly.If you say you found a 4 bed 2 bath built in 2015 that you can buy for $350,000 and after fix up of $40,000 will sell for $500,000 that gets the conversation started.

I'd rather have an espresso machine vs a herpes bath.

I know that households in the valley are extremely water efficient in that usage for households has hardly gone up over the last twenty years despite the growth due to more efficient appliances (dishwashers and washing machines) and wastewater technology including recycling car wash water at car washes and using grey water for irrigation and a leaning in recent years toward desert landscaping instead of turf (grass is a huge water guzzler).  

Since my original post I've gotten set up with precanceled stamps, mail merge on excel, and a nifty paper folding machine.

I say I'm disabled, I am an ex-machine mechanic, plumber and electrician.
