Don't read to much into a southern expression, Tim.

@Lisa PerezWe are frequently criticized for spending too much on our renovations - energy efficiency is core to our operating beliefs, so we frequently spend a little more time improving "out-of-sight" things (air sealing, insulation, LED lighting, ventilation, etc.) then many of our competitors.Similar to the sentiment you expressed, I am also a firm believer that our properties should be in a condition where I would be willing to live there with my family before I could ask someone else to do the same.

Only one guy shows up with his young daughter and expresses his immediate interest.  

The Appraiser is forbidden (by law) to discuss their opinion or appraisal results with anyone other then their client, without their express permission, which does not happen, in these cases.

Many of these guys, especially the smaller subs, come onto my team with the express understanding that if they would like get my business and keep my business - that they are not to take on additional work for other investors/developers (people who are most likely to throw any kind of volume their way and subsequently compromise my ability to get my jobs done in a timely manner) without my approval.

I heard re express will get the job done (also cheapest) but if it’s too wordy and hard to retain it might just be wasting time if I find it hard to finish.
