Although I will shop locally (and pay a premium) when I can support a local mom and pop store that provides me with good customer service.

Try to speak to the customer visually as much as possible.

If you have a small budget or are doing it yourself get a simple website up focused around your target customers needs.

if your sale is structured properly with your specific buyer, you may have an on-going client/customer for life, plus great referrals and new business from those referrals!

I love real estate, customizing diesel trucks, and home building.I enjoy weigh training, hiking high altitudes, camping, riding quads and Harleys, and racing RC trucks with my boys. 

You definitely want to get to management so don't bother with the limitations of your baseline customer service. be very professional and clear with what you expect to see based on the prior temp arrangement.You will have to remove the dispute down the road to qualify for another mortgage, but that's easy.If you never made such an arrangement and simply went 90 days late you will still want to dispute a 3 agencies and hope it slips through a loop hole in response and comes off.

If the management company offers you the same knee jerk price that has been around for 50 years - keep looking - you will probably overpay. 4) Do they use a custom attorney approved lease agreement - or the Texas Association of Realtor lease agreement that has more holes in it than Swiss cheese?

Your realtor or lender that you are loyal to and have a relationship with, within reason, will run a few of these for you.

As for my skill sets, I've worked mostly in customer service so I have great communication skills as well as skills selling, problem solving, critical thinking and math.

The most important key is the property/customer service are very important.
