I'm still a little miffed (it would help if I could get through to an officer at the Bureau, rather than the unhelpful automated voice machine).

I think it looks like a good purchase as long as no differed maintenance pops up, such as a huge plumbing issue or anything else like that.Have you thought about how else can you get additional revenue, like laundry machines, wireless internet with a month access code, DVD rental, or vending machines in the common area?

When you walk up to a slot machine and make your bet, your most likely result is that you will lose that bet.

i am a Realtor and we have people coming to our office to present their services all the time, and we had someone come in and tell us about a process they use to clean mold and odors, specifically smoke with machines using hydrogen peroxide.They are called Biosweep and I believe they operate nationally.

If I am away from my phone I can set it up so it goes to an answering machine without it even going to my cell phone.

What I usually did when I got a bid accepted was to place my bids on Wednesday and Thursday nights, so they can be accepted on Thursday and Friday Morning (all HUD bidding is systematic, meaning your bids will go through a machine until your bid reach the limit HUD wants then the asset managers see your bid and decide if they want to sell you the property, that is why that give you counter offers the next morning if your bid is not high enough, I called about this and heard from others as well).

But, if it got through the machine and didn't get marked, what about then?

With those numbers, I would rather invest in a 7-Eleven and clean Slurpee machines everyday.

It does cost money to move on, and Tom is obviously coming from a perspective of having a functional marketing machine working, but it is costly to get caught up on one offer.

So, I finally got the Marketing Machine up'n'running.
