Prospect Myth #1:  "My divorce killed my credit"

 
Prospect Myth #1:  "My divorce killed my credit"
 
This could very well be #2, #3 and #4 as well- as I hear these words (or similar ones) from tenant prospects virtually every single day.  The conversation goes a little something like this:
 
"How's your credit?"
"I'm not gonna lie- I'm gonna be straight-up with you and tell you that it's not the greatest."
"OK.  Do you have a recent bankruptcy, short-sale or foreclosure?  Exactly what is it that's hurt your credit?"
"Well, no- none of that crazy stuff!  It's … (9 comments)

Where does your "quality of life" come from?
                                        
Where does your "quality of life" come from?
 
As we wind down our day of celebrating our nation's independence and many continue on or head off to spend the remainder of the long weekend with family and friends, here's a bit of food for thought:  Where does your quality of life come from?
 
If it comes from spending time with your family and friends as I just mentioned...are you doing enough of it?  I've used the "I don't live to work, I work to live" saying over and over … (6 comments)

So what are you- tired or lazy?

So what are you- tired or lazy?
 
Not sure how the market’s been doing in every part of the country- but I can assure you that business here in the Orlando is booming.  In the past few weeks, I’ve been speaking with owner and tenant prospects alike- and I’ve caught myself using the same saying over and over….
With such an incredible amount of business to be had, folks around here fall within one of two distinct groups- you’re either dog tired and exhausted from your efforts to “strike while the iron’s hot”…or … (0 comments)

Congratulations!  You're in fine company with the listing agent whose property I showed the other day.  It's great that their folks (apparently) replaced the door knob and deadbolt lock at this property- yet … (4 comments)

Program created to lessen pedestrian deaths in Orlando?

Program created to lessen pedestrian deaths in Orlando?
 
I'd surely like to believe this is the case- but I just as surely have my reservations about any of the programs I've heard of thus far.  I have a number of reasons for those reservations- for while I've just chronicled the 50th local pedestrian death as part of my Pedestrian Tales From the Middle of the Road series, I simply don't feel that our local law enforcement officials "get it".

This story from earlier in the month would shock many folks.  The thought of a pedestrian being killed while trying to cross the street would be alarming in and of itself- but the thought of said pedestrian being hit and/or run over by at least 3 vehicles should be all the more scary.
 
Sadly, it's not at all surprising to folks around here who have become all but numb to these pedestrian deaths.  The death chronicled here is yet another one on the watch of Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings and Orlando … (7 comments)

A birthday celebration turns into sadness- as local woman (apparently) leaves party for a walk down Interstate 4.  No fairy tale ending to this story, folks.
Sadly, this death comes under the watch of one of my favorite local law enforcement officials- Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

A story that's all too common around here:  pedestrian enters street where they're not supposed to be and where motorists don't expect them to be.  When the final tally from all of our vehicle versus pedestrian "crashes" is taken, I'd suspect the score will be a lot like it is now- a sad accounting of mismatches where the vehicles remain undefeated.
