If these are sound, you'll look forward to getting up every day, you'll work when others play, you'll power through tough times and ultimately, you will achieve your goals.When making your goals, be very specific.  

Any good loan officer will go over the exact same thing when it comes to a " full pre-approval", pull your credit for scores and liabilities for debt to income ratio, income and assets. now most lenders are able to take it one step further and collect documents to send into underwriter for a credit approval from the  underwriter,which does give it more power. as far as appraisers go I would have to agree on that. 

Many of the tiles will be unable to produce power as they will not be oriented correctly by definition, which would be the same as buying solar panels that weren't producing - unnecessary cost.

I would do everything within my power to kick their butt to the road.

This link is to an e book I liked about a secret source of power that will allow you to literally manifest anything you want.

On some houses you cannot get the utilities turned on, HUD investor housing they will not let you turn on the power.

I imagine there were many others (such as no independent contractor agreement, etc), but the materials issue was documented as one contributing factor.Another example of where this could be an issue is if one of your contractors decides to try to claim unemployment benefits from you; the unemployment office will make a determination if he was an employee or contractor, and if they determine he was an employee, you'll be paying benefits (plus back FICA taxes and penalties).This was actually a real issue that Microsoft had a number of years back, because they treated their contractors a bit too much like employees, and despite the contractor contracts, the court ruled that they were actually employees.If a big company with high-powered lawyers like Microsoft can get burned by this, certainly investors need to be careful...

Don that is a very tragic event I am sure he has not dealt with fully if he has turned to drugs.You can't just stop doing something.You have to replace it with something else to fill the space.WHITE KNUCKLING and WILL POWER will eventually only lead to failure.My mom worked for years and years at a violence center for women and dealt with people that had issues.You can guide them and try to show the way but at the end of the day it is their choice to want to live or die.Just take in every moment your son is present and in the moment with you and try to cherish those memories.Right now your main goal is to protect the innocent children and take away any bad modeling behavior they are witnessing that can impact them for life.When you kick a habit you have to do something else.Example: Smoking - Bike Riding,Drinking- going to church,drugs-exercise etc.Everyone has stress in their lives and that will never change.As we get older the stress does not go away it just transforms into something else.You might used to have worried about money,then it's your kids,then it's old age,mortality etc.Until your son sees a counselor to deal with these issues and learn coping skills he is going to medicate himself to not feel anything.The first few sessions of therapy is just small talk.The real work begins later on and either people commit and dig in to work on issues or say "Oh I am fine now and get scared and run away".Many people go to their pastor but I feel they are not qualified as a drug abuse specialist or a licensed therapist to help them with situations like that.Don you don't control your son but YOU DO control how you react to what he does and how it impacts your life and family.Maybe you feel guilty for him seeing his mom go through that and enabled him out of guilt to make yourself feel better in the moment.All you can do everyday is work on yourself.If you do that you can have a positive impact on him that can do nothing but help.

You have very little power over how your net profit is calculated.

if you search 'island with column' on houzz.com you'll see many examples, I'm guessing many of those columns exist to run power to an island.
