I get through to some people, most give blank stares/get defensive.

My issue with americans sometimes can be the feeling of entitlement, i'm an red blooded american so *fill in the blank*americans sitting on their laurels isn't going to keep us great.

I'm not looking for data to prove anything and I'm not looking for a specific answer...I'm looking for some information (personal viewpoints) to advance my understanding of something I can't currently relate to (faith in a specific religion).It's called learning, and it's something I like to do on occasion...

The government of Israel already stated on many occasions that it would not be the first to introduce nuclear weapon to the region.

If a subcontractor has a blank week or period of time they will be very interested in filling that time and will reduce their normal bid considerably so they don't have a crew sitting idle.The next installment will come sooner rather than later due to my new voice recognition system.

If so, there are at least a couple on Tim's list who have liberal political affiliations.Since this is a completely subjective discussion, it's not worth throwing out any names, as all you have to do is disagree with anyone's assertions.For example, I could say there have never been any [fill in the blank with an ideology] leaders, and then just argue that any names you throw out don't qualify.Sorry, not going down that road...

If not then i would assume you are perhaps a landlord that doesnt give a blank about who you get into your property nor how the tenant will take care of your property as long as that cash rolls in.

I wanted to clarify a couple of thingsFirst I spent a little more on things but not a ton for example I found a water fall faucet for the bathroom for 49.00I found one of those tall kitchen faucets where the sprayer is built into the faucet and pulls out from the faucet housing itselfI purchased one for 70.00 from a close out placeand the other for 131 with soap dispenser and plateit was a 300 dollar faucet that was open box returnedthe floating vanity cost 313 but came with a medicine cabinetand it looks great i think a regular vanity was about 99 and medicine cab for 40 so I spent twice the amount of rental gradeI decided to put my focus on the bathroom and kitchen I used bead board backsplash in one unit but splurged on glass in the otherboth look pretty great and look way better than blank wallsI put in vinyl plank flooring looks like oak and has a great look cost 40.00 for the whole bathroomI did a two color paint scheme in the bathroom that is very eye catching but the paint I used was oops paint so it cost me 5.00 a gallonand everyone loves the way the colors balance off each other it overall my cost in the bathroom and kitchen was \in fact my total paint cost for both units was 160 for 10 gallons plus three gallons so 113I dont think I spent that much extra but the look of pleasure on my tenants faces when they see the apartment and what they are gettingI saved money on the laminate floor over capeting I payed 79c sqft by buying clearance flooringmy contractor charged me 640 to install 1000 sqft with my helpI added the washer dryer closet so they dont have to walk to the laundromat That was my biggest expensenow the question is will I get more for the unitsI dont know my goal was not to get more but to get exactly the tenants I want without waiitngI dont want vacancies and I dont want tenants who will tear my stuff up which is what I see a lot of in this neighborhoodsometimes its not just what you bring in it is what you dont have to spend out if I can minimize vacancies over a five year period and minimize repair costs that is fair compensation. in my humble opinion

After meeting with him and his wife on multiple occasions and explaining real estate and what I was doing, he made the leap.
