Chris, thank you so much for being a voice of reason.

Register for google voice number2.

@Daniel Kevin Lara you can download the google voice app and set up all calls to go through a new number that forwards to your original number.

so when I'm the sole voice saying "I dunno, maybe, actually no, this does NOT make sense, you shouldn't refinance if you're going to sell the home in 9 months (or whatever it is)" I very quickly become the go-to mortgage fact checker for that person's entire sphere of influence.

Get yourself a Google Voice number or something similar.

Get past the voices, investing in my first duplex my sophmore year at OSU in Columbus-Parents "That seems very reisky" -Realtor "its not a homerun but its a start"-Friends "I invest in the stock market and it doesnt require that much work"3 years later my duplex appraised for $300k more then what I bought it for and cash flows $1,800/month!

Perhaps some in a group may be introverts and don't feel comfortable voicing their opinion/ ideas in a group so they just play along.

Hi Napat,Make sure you are comparing Apples to Apples.For instance is the Contractor going to use Owens Corning Synthetic Underlayment, or X mil plastic sheeting or tar paper, or nothing because he believes (for instance) hail damage is less with nothing under the shingles, and the Ownes Corning guy is going to use the Owens Corning Synthetic Underlayment (???)

You could give the tenants 2 or 3 color options that match the existing color scheme and let them make the final choice so they feel like they have a voice in the process.
