.-- Robert, ever since Emily left him, he just drinks and drinks.

Originally posted by @David Zheng:one of my real estate agents used to give me a bottle of champagne. after the 3rd house I went through with him, he stopped giving them to me...so I stopped using him :)but really I realized at that point I did 90% of the work anyways and could get better deals just going through the listing agent  Maybe he just thought you were drinking too much...

Next time you're standing inside of a McDonalds count the word McDonaldIts frigging crazy the amount of money major brands spend promoting after purchase brand awarenessThen flippin Bud spends millions on Superbowl commercials telling us to drink what in our hand.

Something along the line of: Hello John Doe, this is Michael Quarles, your drinking buddy, barber shop client, parishioner, etc, and I want to let you know that after careful thought and a lot of consideration that I have become a real estate investor.

Yes, if you want to buy more drugs, go to a pharmacist, want to buy another drink?

Don’t drink and drive,and don’t text and drive. 

Here's how you use these percent rules:2% = the milk you drink50% = is the amount of people (I looked this up) that drink 2% milk70% = the amount of people that used to drink 2% milk 10 years agoOther than that, for REI, these percentages are useless.
