My dad was a doorman in NYC when I was growing up, I remember the entire family sitting on a bed with specific jobs - my dad opening the cards and reading and telling us stories, my mom “keeping the books” and my little brother and I signing thank you cards.

If it changes your opinion at all, it was a large company with 12,000 homes and it seems like this was part of their business plan.
It was “significant demo, electrical, plumbing and pool construction” across 12 CA cities

Been going to [BMW] mechanics since '08 - they are the ultimate metric of the real estate market.

There’s a Hawaiian restaurant in town where during COVID they had a huge plexiglass shield between cashier and customer
When you pay they ask out loud “do you want to leave a tip? How much?”…in front of the whole line

Weber Kettle Grill is the best bang for your buck & most versatile
You can buy attachments like the Slow n’ Sear which turns it into a “smoker” and there is a grate that turns it into a flat top.
Only downfall is that charcoal takes more time, but the flavor is superior.

If you ask any multifamily owner about their portfolio they immediately go to complaints about tenants, repairs, etc.
You ask someone about their Dollar General in Kentucky - all they know is the deposit hits their accounts.

I’d recommend a qualifying question in between like “when’s the last time you bought a property?” if more that 12 months I would make a judgement call.
Generally I find that everyone says “I’m always a buyer” but when a deal comes they have a million excuses.
