At the time, we were in the middle of a lengthy, stressful, and expensive immigration process as well as planning a destination wedding and midterms at the school he was teaching at.  

This all rings true in my gut. 

Guys just wanted to update you: I stuck my hat in the ring at 60k but other investors outbid me and it sold for 67K.

Are there any other strategies or angles I could use / take that would allow me to have a fighting chance if I threw my hat in the ring?     

We use them combined with yellow letters  (that we write by hand) and the phone rings.

I'll give them a ring in the morning.Do you use the state contract or your own?

Without question, go with a stainless steel sink....SELF rimming (not with the separate trim ring) and be sure to caulk it well, all the way around to prevent water to seep back under the edge and delaminate (or rot) the cut edge of the countertop.

There’s definitely a market to get into private ownership of golf courses particularly if you can turn them into destinations for events and weddings to boost after hours revenue and build up your tournament schedule.The new buyers of our town course have set a 5 year plan for generating more business, attracting more tournaments, and hosting more small events by having a functional restaurant with good food for the first time in years.

My parents set us up with our first investment buy/hold as a wedding gift, and that is when my journey started at 24.  

Literally let the phone ring until they transferred it to another agent.
