I was always thinking of ways to generate revenue which led me down several paths: when I was 7, I sold my toys and clothes at a garage sale which worked out well; the following year I setup a food and beverage stand at the garage sale which made more money than my entire family’s sales combined; I ran that stand for a few more years and employed my older siblings to work for me; when I was 9, my buddy and I attended a five day four-night University of Michigan hockey camp and sold all of the snacks our parents sent us with to make $150 each (I sold a half-eaten snack size bag of Doritos and used cheese dip for $5) ; we went again the following year and convinced our parents to shop at Costco before the camp so we were completely stocked up with inventory, needless to say we made a killing; I started a lawn mowing business during middle school and ran it profitably for several years until I finished high school.During high school I took both finance classes that were offered and became a teacher’s assistant so I could be in a finance class again.

If I was younger I would pack my bags and move there in a heart beat..

I brown bagged my lunch everyday, brewed my own coffee and had no car payments.  

I decided that the opportunity was in Dallas so I packed my bags… actually I didn’t pack my bags.

I've found those are the types who couldn't investigate their way out of a wet paper bag much less conduct a good tenant screening.

If you want to ask the lender if you can use another number other than your SSN, be my guest...lol...i will post a report that I wrote on my blog going through some details and some truths about these secondary numbers and CPNs.http://www.creditrich.net/the-truth-about-cpns-letting-the-cat-out-the-bad-credit-bag/thats the link but the report is below-------------------------This post has information that part of me thinks that I should not put on the blog but another part of me says that people need to be aware.

We did everything from mailing out chain letters hoping the mailman would walk up to the front door dragging a bag full of envelopes that were full of $1.00 bills.

Just about anything can be used for cold air return as long as it won't get sucked into the blower like thin plastic like plastic bags and such.

@Gina NicolasIf worst comes to worst, consider telling the client that you'll reimburse them for a styrofoam cooler (the super cheap ones) and some bags of ice (also cheap).Drew is right about not opening a can of worms with the food reimbursement.

If it's in bad shape and is fraying or falling apart then deal with the problematic areas, but I wouldn't go as far to say it's a deal breaker.If you're going to demo or remodel, you're going to have a couple extra steps in the process (wetting, bagging, sealing) and it will be more expensive, and may require a hazmat demo permit (depending on what your county or state requires) - also has to be dropped in a different section of the landfill, or in a specific hazmat landfill.
