Building is cheap and functional, but nothing to write home about.I suppose it's easy to extend those definitions to neighborhoods.By the way, I always stay away from terms like "war zone" when describing neighborhoods.

I've had different rate structures from hourly, a contingency meaning they get work based on an outcome, on a retainer basis, paying so much over time even if you don't use them, per function, like X dollars for a closing and a salary, but I don't think newbies will be having a staff in-house attorney.Even a brand new attorney out of law school and who just passed the Bar exam can probably do any contract in residential settings.

There is obviously more money in NYC, a functional public transit, accessible by foot for the most part.

The real estate agent performs certain functions, but marketing on behalf of a buyer client is generally not one of them.We have clients that we submit many offers for (numbers game investors), but they purchase over 75% of the accepted offers.  

I have friends who bought a house specifically because it had a functional fireplace.If a fireplace is capped or otherwise non-functional just make sure it looks nice.

If your into the 4 and 5 star parks- Dallas, Vegas, LA.If park visits do not matter- then they all function about the same... 

I say sturdiest just because we do have functional obsolescence  that needs to be taken into consideration if your  going to  hold the asset long termI harken back to my earlier years 1984...

Otherwise it functions as a fair standard loan.  

I am still in a trial with Unbounce and it's pretty robust but there are many others (KickOffLabs, InstaPages, etc).

At the end of the day we have to make it function like a business, keep the tenants happy and keep the owners from getting sued.It's a relationship business not an object business.
