In 2002 Adams left the traditional world of financial services to pursue a career in real estate.

I analyze flips and rentals very differently...For flips, I'm mostly interested in profit as a percentage of sale price (what would traditionally be called my "margins").

Might have carried the glass tile backsplash in the bathroom all the way and used a saw to square up the endges, but then again, I am a traditional guy.

Granted, there are fewer variables with the cash offer...I'm not confident that all seller's agents even know what to make of a hard money offer (traditional sales).Any useful language or tactics that folks have used with success?

Traditional buyers are looking for something they can move into without doing the work.

If you are burning gas/wood/coal, etc, then you need both a vent (traditionally air from the room) and an exhaust (the chimney) - this is the draught you feel.
