Of course self deprecation works, specially on a network called "Comedy Channel" however I do think he did some great interviewing on occasions (i.e. w/ clown Jim Cramer) that regular (so called reputable) news outlets can only learn from...

It has been stated many times and there are penealties if you do not follow through.Credit is more than what you get from the bank or financial institution, it is your reputation as well.

BE ethical, the money is going to come so don't tarnish your reputation in the meantime.

I don't want to ruin my reputation with these agents by not being able to sell the property.

Problem is, you'll need to find a reputable guru bunch, if I were you, and that might not be easy.

I live in a suburb town of a moderately sized city that has no apartment complexes and the schools have a very good reputation.

Just be warned that if you do not sell the deal and it falls through without a buyer, your Realtor will probably get a very bad taste and not want to tie any more up with you, it is their reputation as well as yours on the line.

J Scott,I think it is a strange time to be expressing Free speech and the right to use that..People exercising that right were labeled some really nasty things on news shows by news people..That speech about Tea protesters ..Now we have town halls where citizens are expressing their justifiably so, deep concerns of a Government takeover of all of our lives, literally, with this massive reform.Obviously people are scared, so many have lost jobs homes and for allot of the self-employed dried up lines of credit even advertisers have felt the cut back..So free speech is only free if you get to use it..And what price is attached when people that are telling their names and where they are from at these mob and nazi townhall Q & A are receiving calls in the late evening hours threatening them.And least we forget Joe the Plumber only asked a question and he was nearly crucified by the media.I do not get your how far we have come unless it is about carrying..

I would hire a plumber and electrician prior to running water or turning the power on!
