I have read a hand full on the subject and a lot of people encourage doing the first one with some diy.

I'll let my stats do the talking there.Just yesterday I was dealing with an overflowing dumpster created from a move-out I 'encouraged'. 

Otherwise if you pitch it to be parallel with the other section, any rain that falls on that (right) side will run towards the main part of the house and that could encourage eventual bad leaks, mold etc..

I would memorize these procedures (and we were encouraged to do so) but instructors were always adamant about doing them “by paper” and not “by rote” no matter how basic the procedural steps were…they want to see students going through the list on the paper and talking it out with the copilot.

I also agree that you can encourage good upkeep by leading by example. 

One thing I want to add is that towards the end of an auction, I think if either the bid price is near the reserve OR the bid price already met the reserve, Auction.com will decrease the increment amount to encourage more bidding.

Next time, I will limit my encouragement to only realistic scenarios.Thank you for the feedback, sincerely!

Apartment Industry Statement on Trump Administration Executive Order to Rescind or Temporarily Waive RegulationsThe National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and the National Apartment Association (NAA) applaud the Trump administration’s signing of an Executive Order directing agencies to use emergency authorities to identify regulations that can be rescinded or temporarily waived to encourage economic growth and recovery from the effects of COVID-19.

Even if I have to do it for us that needs a little more encouraging meet ups.

i see so many posts where new investors are encouraged to dive in to the riskiest strategies and everything here is good...
