Didn't you put in your listing that your title company was required? 

Better to put in fixtures with a globe to cover the bulb; they are like less than $10 each.

And you won't get one without a court order.If I do make $40-$50 million doing what I do, rest assured I will have a training course and a shelf of books for sale and a traveling guru seminar and I will most certainly mightily and righteously insist in all of them that my success was all thanks to pulling myself up by my own bootstraps through taking the right risks, a good attitude, leveraging competitive advantages, AND OF COURSE HARD WORK.Because hard work will set you free, or as it was once put in German, "Arbeit macht frei."

I arrived to Hawaii under Air Force Active Duty orders, put in the barracks with a pretty low wage as an E-3 Airman. 22 years old, no college education, a low 600 credit score and with a $14k car loan on Subaru STi (god I miss it). 

In the beginning, I put in long days 12 to 16 hours each day.

Please note that I put in my original offer to have an opportunity to speak with the existing tenants about the new lease and rent rate prior to closing.

I was interested in closing the deal, so before anyone left, I straight forward asked them "Do you want to put in an offer now?"
