Just saw another thread about asking a question on the phone, thought this might help people get past the cill and break the ice for cold calls or calling on sellers or buyers about a property.So, ring, ring, ring, Hello.....now what do you say?

You can pick up a Stainless Steel ice in door fridge for $800-900 (Frigidaire 25.5cu) delivered and installed and used craigslist washer and dryer for $200-300.

RE is no different than insurance or boat building or auto repair or running an ice cream shop or anything else in business.

I broke the ice negotiating with buyers on this deal. 

Even turn it into a short-term rental...profits would double, but I want to assume the worst and make the deal as advantageous as possible as is, so that if I can raise the rents, turn it into a short term rental, or even potentially get a variance and either build or sale the extra lot that comes with it, these are icing on the cake.

Only Oregon and my Oregon one is on ice ( you can do that indefinitely in Oregon as long as you take CE each year).. and not 5 days later I got a letter from the regulators in NV. asking me to describe what I was doing and letting me know that a license was required..

Maybe just put in your lease that Landlord has discretion to remove or replace the garbage disposal (and/or ice maker), that way if you have issues, you can decide whether to keep them or not.  

Long Pond, Lake Mascuppic, dont forget not to far from there about an hour to hour/half you have NH - Lake Winnipesauke and surrounding lakes which is a Summer and Winter attraction due to the Summer lodging, boating, Jetski's and the Annual Huge Ice Fishing tournament.

Here's a random example - know a guy that has gone on ice fishing trips in New England for 15 years.
