Certainly will be interesting to drop in on occasion.

On the rare occasion that the other party is not impressed by what I am capable of, I simply remove myself and continue on.An earlier posting by somebody mentioned that by 60 you don't care what others think.

Efficiency was lost by not having a crystal clear plan of attack, as we had to backtrack on several occasions, losing precious time.

I decided to go get it.When I lifted his doormat, I found a blank money order, with no payee filled it, for the complete amount of the rent.  

Maybe cause it's late but I'm staring blankly at the screen.

John, QuickBooks Pro will allow YOU to CUSTOMIZE it by YOU creating DEFINE FIELDS (blank fields that allow you to input data you want to create) that no other software program will allow you to do.I wanted to see my tenants move in date, Security Deposit, Rental Amount, Move Out Date, etc. 

Tenant = Job of a unit or a property Products successfully integrated with QB - SmartVault or SourceLink, billing solutions, Intuit Merchant Service - specially with vacation rentals, blank check stock, industry specific websites - Would love to work with bill.com, Method Integration (which gives you a web portal, and integrates with QB) and/or QuickBase.

. - you're not doing anything wrong, particularly if you're saying you had one offer accepted through this agent in the last six months, and are pursuing the same strategy.We also make "outrageous" offers sometimes (really just trying to bring the too-motivated and too-ambitious sellers down to earth on many occasions) and, while some agents um and ur about it before passing the offer on, many of them get accepted.The trick is working with as many realtors as possible - even if you only take the one in twenty deals or so they pass your way, that makes you a valuable client who pounces on the better deals (and once you've come through once, they should know you're for real) - they'll scoff at times, and some of them, who prefer the easier and lazier way will avoid you, but the ones who stay with you will be hungry, quick on their toes, and part of the best team you can hope for.Keep up the good work, doesn't sound like you should change anything - just make sure you know what your market can provide, otherwise, if it gets too long between deals and they keep getting snatched at higher prices, you may need to go to another market, at least for a while - things might be picking up where you're focusing.Best of luck!
