I'm not talking about the people who are shopping for a dream though.

If its an electric water heater, you can take out the bottom heating element, tape a smaller tube to your shop vac and vacuum out the sediment that doesn't flush out, to help it also.

My policy is coming up for renewal in a month or two, and I wanted to shop around.

If it is customary in your are to have a 6 or 9 page contract, there are reasons why, use them, learn them so you can explain them.If someone approached me with a one page contract (the least I've seen was 2, it takes a half page for signatures) I'd laugh and walk off.Now, I have hand written a quick agreement to hold property until we could enter a formal contract, but that is not good practice.Get a good contract, copy them and carry them with you in your vehicle along with other forms you will need.Dealing in RE without good contracts is like running a blacksmith shop without fire or an anvil, forms are the heart of the business.See an attorney, I've mentioned 3 or 4 times today I believe, the initial cost for good documents is really a one time purchase and you can do hundreds of deals off the same set of contracts, might work out to a dollar a deal. :)

The renter pool has been trained to shop for new rehabs at rock bottom price.

I've never shopped there, but need to compare prices as I start a few flips/large rehabs.To keep track of my paint choices, I have a Google spread sheet that I share with my subs so there are no are relatively few mistakes.

Laws are passed by legislative bodies.Anyway, shop around with some other lenders.

If anyone has shopped around for rates lately, who has been the most competitive?

Everyone in all facets of REI have their bumps in the road; I would hate for you to start out as a wholesaler that gets a reputation for shopping deals that aren't deals.

Making closet space is desirable when residents are shopping the woman makes the decisions on bedrooms 90% of the time since you are targeting a single family you will want to know where to update and expand.
