They were talking about working jobs and creating entrepreneur value, and were discussing the view that many people have on how "striking out on your own" is risky, wherein they asked the question: What is more risky - making your own way through the world, creating value and wealth, or working for someone else, hoping that the value and wealth filter down to you? 

If you wear it upside-down it will get people who may not have talked to you otherwise a reason to strike up a conversation with you because they can't resist the urge to tell you your nametag is upside down.

Sure, you'll have to pay,  but see what kind of deal you can strike.

I have little real experience with the real world of regulatory items and navigating getting work done, but one thing that did strike me as very peculiar was what appeared to be the lack of consistency in how public records (for instance sale data) was provided. 

The owner should hire an attorney to file a declaratory judgment action seeking to strike the easement and “lien” (whatever that means, it makes no sense) on the grounds that it is unconscionable and creates an unreasonable restraint on alienation.

Whether you could raise rents as suggested by the report strikes me as dubious in a relatively low income area such as this one.  

Set an strike price, sell them an option and rent to them until they exercise that option.  

I assumed they were the owners so I rode my bike by the place and said hello, striking up a conversation with the woman.
