Right now, I am going to school for Massage Therapy, but being as that is a very physical job, I would only work about 20 hours a week after I get my license, and I am wanting to do real estate sales on the side.

I spend less time massaging numbers and never borrow money.

Other then that, we get into the ridiculous but effective, like smokin hot massage girls, free vegas trips WITH the smokin hot massage girls........... uhm, did I say smokin hot massage girls.

When you're massaging the numbers to try and make a deal out of a marginal one, you often end up with problems.

How they massage the rents to the LLC is out of my scope of knowledge.Any cleaver contract language that could structure the deal as I outlined in the first post?

I pulled out the massage table and gave the whole family back rubs.

I, as well as the other Guide Dog handlers I know, agree that we overcompensate for our lack of sight - we thoroughly examine (with our hands) our dogs daily or more, and I personally, massage my dog daily (twice a day if I think she needs it).

The fact that they could take generic aspirin, a generic Tylenol knock-off and drink some coffeee to achieve the same therapeutic levels for maybe 1/5 of the price is unimportant.You can talk to these people until you're blue in the face, and they'll still go out and buy Excedrin when they have headaches.

Forgive my yammering, but I think it is therapeutic, plus it is an awesome thread for all of us to learn a little bit, no matter if you are just starting in RE or are a multimillionaire!

This can prevent two extremes: under pricing below market and over pricing and having an idle asset.I believe this method will provide a proxy rent strong enough to do deal analysis with, particularly in a well diversified portfolio.Let math do the heavy work and massage as necessary for finishes and how fast (or slow) the unit needs to be rented.
