That flexibility allows you to manipulate things such as coverage amount, deductible amount, policy form, etc. to more closely match your needs and risk tolerance and thus have some influence on the premiums you pay.Hope this helps some.

By holding the parents accountable, you ensure a little more influence on the responsibility of lease agreements that college students normally would not.

I know I'm a little late on this thread, but I wanted to also offer my congrats.Jon Klaus has had the most influence on me from BP.

The specifics of each deal and what strategy the investor is utilizing would make a difference as to the importance of certain types of information.As you put it, for my business model equity is extremely important, and that fact probably influenced my eagerness to split hairs.

Live and learn.....in the future I will use back taxes etc. as more of a negotiating tactic .I did just hear last week that the offer looked good, and it was sent on to their negotiator for further review.I must have really influenced the BPO already.

:crazed: I haven't met a single person here that's been influenced positively.

Elia,Wow 9 posts and -718 influence says it all.You break the rules of BP anytime.At last, this post was from 09/2007, long time ago I think.

Do not hook up with investors who want to aggressively influence the numbers.

Do any of you use licensed contractors and do you discuss with them what exactly you're doing (trying to influence the BPO...).

Learning first-hand can really influence the direction you'll take.What do you do for a job, if you don't mind my asking?
