If an adult child was living with them then consider not mailing them either as they have a free house unless there is a mortgage. 

Mom's second child, my older sister, is severely mentally handicapped.

â€REI Statement: “You see, I sell houses too, and many times I have seen buyers make offers on houses, and when we get into escrow and I’ve spent a lot of money on the process, it turns out the buyer has an IRS problem or child support payments he didn’t mention, and he can’t qualify.â€Note: This is a example of creating a fear in the minds of the sellers that if they don’t sell their house to me, the next buyer may be a flake.

It's funny we spend so much money on clothing and trappings only to present a crappy business card that looks like a child wrote the copy.

They also owe back payments on child support,taxes to the IRS,education lapse,non-paying of dues.So for 300 a transaction the paperwork I was having to keep up with was ridiculous.I make so much more working my own deals.Also if you own a brokerage you will need to decide if you want to pony up NAR fees or not.Some MLS's are NAR controlled or owned.Luckily in Georgia ours are not controlled by NAR so you don't have to pay NAR to belong to the MLS's.The reason MLS's collect upfront fees is just like agents don't last in the business neither do 90 percent of start up brokerages.The struggling brokerages don't pay their fees and take the money instead.This is where the MLS deposits come in.The MLS here can simply take the deposit and not have to chase down these brokerages in court and time to collect money.Solid Source is a great company but years ago I wanted to run my own ship.Solid was also growing huge at that time and Michele wasn't as accessible so it lost that intimate feel of something special.It grew to her growing the national franchise concept which I don't blame her at all.This is when Ken left to start his own little company as he didn't have the same vision in mind.If you are going to have a bunch of agents you should own the building instead of rent and use the fees to payoff the mortgage.Then if the business loses value over time you can sell off the building for cash.If you rent instead you don't really have much value to sell unless the business is still doing well.

Are you kidding, that's like putting a child in a candy store and saying " OK Johnny/Suzy you can have just one piece so pick one " It's too hard to pick!

I'm pretty old, so mine were mostly from a different time..67 camaro 327 (1st car after kinda reaching adulthood. wifey and I think 1st child was conceived in this car!)

However, quality of posts is the ugly red headed step- child of the current influence system.

I have a bulk mail permit and just put the labels on myself, or pay some illegal child a few cents to do it, then send them back out to wash my car.
