I've got motivation, dedication, and I'm in it for the long haul and in it to win it.

Low renewal rates may signal failures in your marketing campaign strategies as well as customer service issues.What you need to do:Review your marketing plan, including online reputation management and referral strategies.If you don’t have a quick make-ready program so you can turn your units efficiently, make that a priority.

For my clients, I customize each pre-qual for the offer so they aren't showing their hand to every party in an offer.What kinds of questions and/or loan program depends on what you are doing...i.e. renovation, fix and flip, etc What are you planning to do?

I now provide custom blinds and forbid them to be altered, after explaining to a young couple why beach towels, sheets and a tie-die flag with a marijuana leave in the center were not appropriate window treatments.  

I've been trying to  weigh out the pros and cons of getting my Real Estate License as well.Con: I realize the intense level of customer service requires that you make yourself available at ridiculous hours to appease overly caffeinated clients. 

Certainly there are often unknowns associated with construction projects like this, so I wouldn't want to count on that timeline holding.If you've seen enough of the restaurants' recent financials to confirm that they've continued to do well in the past year or so (after the "Stonefield effect" would have fully kicked in) then presumably they're not heavily dependent on the popular-movie-going crowd from the wider area for their customer base, so there's probably nothing to worry about from the above project, and in fact, it should only help, eventually. 

It didn't have much to do with real estate of course, but I learned a ton about customer service and how to elevate the customer experience.  

I've seen some state specific forms online for around $75....I'm tempted to get those, customize for my situation, and then have a lawyer review.  

Who are your target customers?

I have 100k to dedicate to real estate.
