I don't have their financials yet (for some reason, though she emailed to application to me, she snail-mailed the other docs!?!?).

The quote came in at $1,500 which is higher than i imagined.

I'm going to try that tonight, on this current prospect.I haven't been printing out stacks of contracts when I show the house, I just handed out a slip of paper with the link to my website, where they could download the file, fill it out, and email it back to me.

I have the good fortune of us both living in the DFW area and have had several meetings, conversations and email exchanges.

If the realtor is going there how hard is it to take many photos and email them.

I showed it to a surprisingly normal person today; he did not have $200 in his pocket, but he paid $25 cash for credit check, and is willing to include a check for the deposit when he sends the application - except that I'd actually prefer that he sent the application via email, and he can't sent a check that way.So what do I do, reasonably??

I can imagine it might be overkill, but it doesn't cost much for basic off the shelf moldings and it's not that difficult to install/paint.

Being an entrepreneur is in my family and in my blood.Many people in my family are business owners or inventors.Where some people see SECURITY in a JOB I see restraint and boredom.I have always been a free thinker with an imagination and passion for creating things and learning to do things better.My first business was a car audio business at 19 years of age.I would in the years leading up to that pester this other car audio owner multiple times a week.I learned a lot from him just hanging out.He didn't mind as he knew my dad was killed in a car wreck when I was 16.College is theory and learning from people doing it everyday is real world.The first 2 years of college is just a rehash of stuff you already know.I made straight A's in high school so I already had the discipline and the smarts.After to going to college for awhile me and my other friends just didn't see spending years there when we could grow our businesses.I think college degrees are great if you know the demand for the specific job will be out there when you graduate.People that go to college think about getting into it but do not plan for the exit and the debt involved.College is an investment just like anything else and can be a bad investment if you spend time focused on the wrong majors etc.I do not believe sending kids to college to "figure things out" while they rack up huge student loans that they cannot get rid of through bankruptcy.

Feel free to email me for more info.Ryan
