So I have a "South Western" kind of attitude in which I not only look strangers in the eye but I also say "good morning sir" & "good morning ma'am" in passing.

You're not in the French Quarter, so you may not be able to be quite as uninhibited, but you'll see how a bit of bold color can a tremendous amount of personality and character to a tiny house.Let me know if you need any more suggestions.hmm. i live in New Orleans...we can get away with those colors because a) those houses have lots of interesting victorian gingerbread and the contrast makes it palatable, b) it's sort of a known thing - there are plenty others doing it, and c) it's new orleans - a jazzy, colorful place with a different attitude than almost anywhere.

I applaud your determination, energy and attitude, the only concern I have is that you seem to be sold on gurus!

It was the attitude that caution us about these individuals.

What a great attitude about hard work.  

I love your attitude about it all though! 

What is the attitude of local officials to the Park?  

Our suggestions to our clients and customers regarding regulatory law is to adapt the attitude that being guided by the most draconian of the sets is the safest course of action. 

.______________________________________________ The upfront agreementIn order for the upfront agreement to work, you need to frame it as a very fair, 2 way business agreement.Here is a possible exchange…After the walk through, you’re sitting at the kitchen table, looking at both mom and dad the sellers.I fold my hands and I looked very solemn, I try to give them is kind of an expression is possible, as sincere as possible, I have my legal pad, a pen, and a blank letter of intent in front of me.I also have a folder of comps and rental information on the subject property.So here’s the upfront agreement…Investor: “So Bob and Susan thanks for the walk through, I just wanted to talk about how I’d like to see our business relationship work.My job is to look at the property, look at all the financial information, then make a decision, on the spot.To keep coming back over and over thinking about possible deals is not what I do.What I do isif the location is right,the condition of the property is right,the layout of the property is right,the existing financing payments are right, andthe attitude of the sellers are right,then my job is to put together the deal structure that works for me,and I basically give the project the green light.Not a yellow light or a red light, but green light,the analogy here is that we go forward and get the paperwork done tonight.To keep coming back is not a good business plan, takes up too much time and nothing gets done.

I know CA has the same type of laws.So I am not sure if attitudes have changed with the big lenders or servicing companies today on alienation clauses.
