Actually, it's not marketing in the conventional way as much as it is networking, having persons in areas of influence or in positions that can facilitate opportunities that feed business to you.Consider building a loan servicing activity in your name.

Kinda like calling the cops for hitting myself and them charging me for assault.This is just thinking out loud.If I went to B of A and had a friend who was able to grant me loans, or influence the granting of loans, and he agreed to commit fraud with me (whether as a favor, carelessness, or for nefarious purpose); don't you think a lender could then sue, "themselves".

My offer is more dependent on my system for crunching numbers and less on what they owe, but if I were to say that what they owe doesn't influence my offer sometimes I would be lying.Now this practice when buying has made/saved me thousands and thousands of dollars, and on the flip side I have lost several deals because I was haggling.

As an example, the property tax structures between California and Colorado are very different, and so would influence the operating expense numbers for the same exact apartments in those different respective markets. 

If I have to sell any of my earlier bought properties to enter into a 1031 to "Go Big" (As Grant Cardone said, a huge influence), I will do that as well.

As @Anna Watkins said earlier, the safety of your area is absolutely going to influence guest opinion and their impressions of their stay, which is subsequently going to be reflected in your guest feedback.

Everything I have seen about demographic preferences indicate people want to be close to a neighborhood center, I don't see the zoning or population in the mall area coming around to attract a quality tenant base that allow differentiation between new construction over the older stock in the area.Heading south you have stronger influence from Joint Base Lewis McChord and a lot of upgrades going on in local neighborhoods including University Place and Lakewood.

I'd recommend doing some sort of sales job, That way if you work hard and get past the learning curve of selling, you will have a good income plus now will know how to sell and have more influence with real estate negotiations

Getting to yes by Fisher and UryHow to win friends and influence people is another good read.

So I imagine it would influence their decisions in court whether you opted out or not.
