I currently pay $1400/month rent and not a dime of it goes towards building equity in an appreciating asset.

It's great if a buyer want to chase after a holy grail loan but the seller isn't going to let them do it on their dime.

Nickel and dime them and they will nickel and dime you.

What it allows is for the client to know they're not going to get nickel and dimed for asking questions but at the same time putting a maximum amount of time so the client knows to be respectful of our time/pay additional monies should they want additional services.

At the time of sale, do I get my initial capital back before you get a dime?

Now if you are continually trying to nickel and dime them on things, yes they will come to resent you.  

Every dime I collected in rent when back into remodeling or repairs.

The research I am coming up with is that there are registered agents that will take all your mail and scan, forward, or shred it(virtual mailbox service) but they nickel and dime you.

He lost every dime.

They are total white collar criminals, living on yachts, and sipping martinis on everyone else's dime.
