One more tip – people remember stories that trigger their emotions.

The loan we were applying for is an FHA, which stipulates we must provide a signed lease for our half of the duplex (to be newly rented out) but for the other half which the parents "own" (in reality all three are equally owners of the entire property.) we would need to provide proof of rental income on our tax return, however her parents claimed that so we seem to be SOL.The mortgage is covered, we can rent it out no problem, but the underwriter is saying on paper it looks like she is responsible for the whole duplex and the rent for half of it is unreportable.

And if I was one of your clients, I would much rather you put your energy into defending me in court, then learning how to properly patch, sand, tape, and prep the walls for painting.I personally have painted a couple of my own projects, but I had the time and somewhat knowledge and experience, and also had run to the bottom of my budget at those times.A few tips/comments which may be helpful:*  As someone else previously posted - gets multiple quotes (3-5)* Ask you fellow realtor friends/associates for painter referrals* Check NextDoor.com for painter referrals* Go to the professional paint stores (Dunn-Edwards, Benjamin Moore, etc) and ask them for referrals.

I watch Brandon Mulrenin for his cold calling content, just for knowledge, however when I obtain my license I anticipate using a different approach to his when it comes to personality and tone. 

@Jacob Sherman your response makes zero sense.
