Good advice to live....at least work by - 08/23/07 11:45 AM
First impressions are helpful and important. Yet they are certainly not everything.
A quick first impression can give you a feel for what's going on. Still, there's much substance that lies beneath the surface.
Allow your instincts to guide you without letting them dominate you. Do the work and dig deeper … (1 comments)

Listing a mobile home - 08/23/07 11:05 AM
OK, so with the sub-prime lending market in upheaval, mobile homes may become even harder to finance, but thats not something I can control.
