I mentioned this in another post today, but last year I spent 30 hours total on all of my places (not including ones that were being rehabbed, only those that were rented), and 25 of that was on one home's bathroom.

Well this is called “reinforcing”I use analogy of a rope and TUG OF WAR and there is a line to be pulled over.The sellers on one side and you’re on the other, and most negotiations it’s tug of war.Well I don’t want to be a tug-of-war.I want them to pull me on their side, I don’t want to pull them to my sideThis “reinforcing” helps them pull me to their side.There’s another reason for this,this a nontraditional outside the box kind of solution,and I want to prepare them the sellers to be talking to their friends about what they’re doing with their house.They get to answer this question “how you sell your house, how much did you get for it?”
