Soft commits are worth 25-50 cents on the dollar.The first raise will seem near impossible, the second will be an incredible challenge, the third will be significantly larger and easier than the first two. 

How do you ultimately end with a soft commit, is this in writing?

I would aim for the North Macon and surrounding area- Bass Rd, Wesleyan Woods area, Zebulon Rd area, Forsyth Rd, etc.

Pros:Music Everywhere: If you've got a soft spot for good tunes, Tennessee is your jam!

Shame and dishonor when dealing with landlords went by the wayside long ago.You let this go and she'll be proudly telling all the other tenants and anyone who will stop to listen to her about how she managed to get one over on the soft-hearted and stupid landlady, and that sets a precedent.

I was just going to suggest ordering something, even if it's a $2 soft drink and a $3 tip for the server (if it's a casual restaurant) and maybe an app or salad (if it's a fancy place).

Talked with many hard money lenders and got several soft quotes. 

I have had an inspector with an engineering degree from Texas A&M recommend that I seal soft brick imported from Mexico on one of my houses.  

I just don’t see the fed lowering rates much at all is we have a soft landing which most analysts are predicting now.

But there are already "soft" hits on that via online sites like Zillow when the true sale price is released as public info (vs. their crummy Zestimate).
