Depending on how familiar you are with excel, it can increase your efficiency when you don't have the luxury of being on call or outsourcing to a call center.

I worked on a project 10 years ago that involved turning a raw land campground into a 100+ room luxury cabin and tent resort....in five months.

And I'm just trying to get a feel for whether or not people actually pay or even consider paying for flyer design, or if they'd rather just do what they can themselves and are satisfied even if the results are sub-par.What started me on this line of thinking is a luxury area near me with multi-million dollar homes with flyers that look like they were for $30,000 dumps.

I think our desire comes from a more luxurious look or increase in value appeal.Depending on the rental and the surrounding area would determine if we keep inserts. 

Very few people have the luxury of being financially independent to start with.Start investing whenever you get time to do it and things will grow from there.

If someone is single and makes 1 million a year, their comfort level may be higher to purchase a luxury item versus the couple who is married, has 3 kids, a mortgage, multiple cars (one child in college and two on the way), and makes 1 million dollars.

I used to own a luxury car (inherited) and felt pressured to then have a lifestyle that fit the car...

I am always amazed at what some broker and agents will agree to in a listing agreement.If you stand for nothing you will fall for anything.You have all different types of listing agreements in states from open listings to exclusive rights to sell.I ONLY do exclusive rights to sell.I control the property and will not put time into a seller that wants my full attention but will not commit to me.A business relationship that is fair to both parties is a two way street.How long a property takes to sell will depend on the asset class and size of the deal.There are average times on the market until closing depending on this.So to give a blanket 30,60 day period doesn't work for all listings.For example some higher end homes take on average 9 to 12 months to sell.Putting these types of listings into magazines can run into the thousands.I have seen sellers tell the broker /agent to spend all this money only to change their minds and not sell etc.In our contracts we have a protection period.So if I put in an exclusive agreement a 6 month listing period I will usually have a 60 day protection period.This means if you list with another broker I am not protected but if you don't you will still owe me a commission.This keeps unruly sellers from me showing them a buyer and trying to let the listing period expire to avoid a commission and calling the buyer back.In Georgia on commercial properties if I am a broker which I ma I can lien a property to stop a sale from happening.I have never had to do it but will enforce it in a heart beat.I provide a service and I will be paid.I bring this up at listings presentations.I let them know what will happen if they try not to play fair and nice.I will give them the same respect they will give me but will not be taken advantage of.On costs with the listing there are regular marketing items I do for each listing.If they want something expensive or special then what I do is this.I tell them to pay for the service and keep the receipt to give to me.They have to be validated receipts with conformation of payments I can verify.The when it sells I will give a credit off my commission at closing.This way if they pull the listing early and don't give me the chance to fully market it they will have skin in the game and it will be painful for them as well.If it's just my money they wouldn't give a crap that I lost 5k.When it's their money they think long and hard about spending it.I have friends that have sold luxury high end homes for over 20 years and this is how they do things to not lose money.The seller will also think harder about the list price because if they pay for this extra marketing and it is overpriced they may never see that money again.I use this system and it works.You teach people how to treat you.If you want a profitable business you have to run it a certain way to protect the bottom line.If the seller will not conform I say NEXT !

i don't regret having taken the real estate course, because it all contributed to my foundation of real estate knowledge.then i took some classes and workshops, and after about the 5th one, i decided enough classes--now i have to formulate my action.all along for the past year or more, i have often driven to a great reia association that's about 3.5 hours away. i, too, live in a rural area, so i don't have the luxury or convenience of a local reia.for me, i think its all about balancing, and finding the pieces that work for you.

Strictly based on my experience, go with luxury vinyl flooring.
