I would present a decent product to my customer.

She ended up positioning herself as an editor who can write, which meant the editing department saw her resume first and the writing department liked having a "writer friendly" editor on staff (conflicts between writers and editors can be huge at some companies).Other companies create "subdivisions" to keep their brands separate in the minds of their customers.

As I was walking up the front before I knocked on the door, I knew which buttons to push.Week 4- I learned to love a good “NO”.  

How do you folks manage your vacation rental properties as well as handle customer communication and interactions when you do not live near the property?

I get an email from Cozy when my tenant pushes the "pay rent" button, which is when it comes out of their account, and then I get another email from Cozy about five days later when it hits my account.  

There is a second rule that says states that an activity is not a rental activity if the average period of customer use of the property is 30 days or less and significant services are provided.

Bryan not a chance.In some micro markets things have always been stable and have the least problems to work through and are the first to recover.This has already happened with markets that didn't experience much of a dip to begin with.With 700,000 properties of shadow inventory and 4 million more foreclosure filings in the works I don't think we are anywhere close to being out of the woods.What would create a partial turn around is if the interest rates started rising and went into the 6's.That combined with the summer months would make many buyers jump off the fence because of fear of not acting.That would make the banks release more property in slow waves and get rid of some of the backlog in many areas.Most home builders won't start new ground projects and get permits until they see the bank supply going down.They will just work on custom one off builds for buyers who have cash.In my market I think we are a few years off from recovery.

You can order a custom window to fit any opening.A clear plastic shower curtain does a great job of keeping the water off the window and letting the light in too.Be sure to make the window ledge at a steep enough angle to prevent anyone from using it as a shelf for soap or shampoo bottles and it will drain water really good if and when someone forgets to pull the curtain over the window.

For our flips, we use Affinity Group, affinitygm.com, ( no relationship, other than as customer) .

Would it be responsible for Luby's to tell all future customers there was a shooting which took place that unfortunately took many lives..?
