The LIBOR had a very good reputation as an index, it was less volitile as other indexes and was a good option, now I can see borrowers shying away in favor of the Fed Funds index and even the higher prime rate published in the WSJ.

I also explained that I was not going to have 10s of thousands of dollars out in EM deposits for weeks, wouldn't happen and your reputation of closing the deal always helps too.

The closing attorney is refusing to wire the funds to the bank until she gets something in writing to that effect.I don't blame her...it's her insurance and reputation on the line if she wires the money and then somewhere down the road the bank tries to foreclose and causes title issues.So, the closing attorney, listing agent and negotiator will be having a conference call this morning to discuss and hopefully work out a resolution.

It takes time and a bit of a reputation I'd say to build trust and confidence with these city types, they also see much of their information as confidential as putting everything out there could spike prices or cost the city more if they were in the process of acquiring properties.

You can easily fall flat on your face and lose money as well as your early reputation if you do something that is pitched and find it's not allowed in your state.If you look at a property and see three feet of the neighbor's garage appears to be over the boundry line, you have a problem.

Keep you property in good shape and get a good reputation with the tenants and they will keep the place full!

After a few calls you can figure out who is the most popular and that inspection company will have a reputation to uphold.

Especially people who post here and have good reputations.

And I bet that option did make Realtors crazy, mad would be more like it.....good way to build a bad reputation with Realtors I would think....

I have the landscaper put in that thick plastic cover to minimize any future weeds. 4) Install new plumbing fittings / valves, i especially like the quarter or half turn valves since it's easy for the tenants to do.5) Install Door Stops, I've had many dings.
