Good Morning BP Members,My intent today is to reaffirm the value of cold calling, be it using the cell phone, in a seminar, food shopping, or any place where you have an opportunity to introduce yourself and your company services, etc.We all have a story and most folks would like to share it or listen to one that is sincere, professional, and passionate.Your communication needs to be brief to get your message across in a short time (20 - 30 seconds). 

Shop around to other banks.

Doesn't sound real smart.

@Michael Tempel Check out Think Multifamily's "Smart Apartment Analyzer" - it's the most robust analyzer I've seen in the industry and my Dad and I have been using it to underwrite all of our deals.

I would like to get smart on this so I can really evaluate opportunities and create some confidence when evaluating opportunities.Thanks in advance!

The thing is (I've since researched that ), the pin-pile approach "holds up" the foundation and prevents it from sinking further, but it does not actually address or correct the existing sink.I got another bid from a bigger shop, who's process is well advertised, and whose pricepoint came in at ALL-IN $37k, paired down to just the minimum, still at $28k.

There are more idiots on this planet than there are smart people.

Hello,My name is Aaron, my brother & I have been renovating my Grandma’s house and are now at the point of Sale.Days before, a homeless man set up shop a few houses up from ours.Setting: Neighborhood In SE, DC.

I hear your frustration and your rant from a business owner perspective, but put on your landlord hat and you would likely be grateful rents come direct to you with Sect 8 tenants because, as someone else mentioned, these are often people who have not proven smart decision making from a financial perspective. 

Less than 3 miles from Interstate 485, Ballantyne Corporate Park, endless shopping/dining options, and the new Ballantyne Reimagined development.
