It can be hard to decide when to upgrade certain parts of your home, so most people wait until other repairs are needed.  I have written on this subject before because there is a BIG difference between repairs and upgrades.  It can make financial sense to do upgrades when repairs are needed.  Most folks who are handy can handle repairs I know I can.  Where would you start if you could upgrade your home with a snap of a finger? #thehelpfulagent #home #houseexpert #house #listreports #homeowner #homereno #homeupgrades #realestate #realtor #realestateagent #happyhome #happyhomeowners #investment 05/23/2023

https://flic.kr/p/5Su9wi What's Closing Now - Bridge Loans!   Borrower owned a daycare in Las Vegas, NV.   She was an excellent operator with 700 a credit score.   She wanted to buy another daycare that she knew was being poorly run.   She was able to get the daycare for essentially free, just paying for the property of $750,000.   We could not move the SBA loan forward because she did not have two (2) years of tax returns.

SHE DID NOT HAVE TIME TO FILE THE 2021 RETURNS AND CLOSE QUICKLY ENOUGH FOR THE SELLER. Hence, she needed bridge money. Enter…our fund.   The deal came in at the beginning of month and had to close by the 25th for the borrower to f... 05/22/2023

Source: Statista More than 40 years after The Buggles released "Video Killed the Radio Star", radio is still alive and well. With all the chatter about about streaming and other digital media, it’s easy to forget how powerful traditional media such as radio and television still are. Radio in particular rarely gets credited for what it still is: a true mass medium. According to MRI-Simmons, radio even trumps TV in terms of its weekly reach among U.S. adults. According to MRI-Simmons, 91 percent of U.S. adults listen to the radio at least once a week, far exceeding the reach of live and time-shifted TV at 76 percent, social media at 70 percent an online video at 67 percent. While radio does win in terms of sheer reach, TV remains unparalleled with respect to average daily usage. According... 05/21/2023

It’s amazing how such small errors can cause such big failsCall them stop signs, speed bumps, or potholes, these seemingly small errors can interrupt the flow of your messages, rendering them useless.Readers who had been nodding their heads in agreement or thinking “I didn’t know that,” will suddenly stop reading.They might re-read the last sentence or two to try to decide what you meant. Or, depending upon the problem, they might read them again and think “There’s something off about this, but what is it?”What small things can cause this abrupt halt? The three most common culprits are: Misused words Misplaced modifiers Non-parallel structure Misused wordsThese could be grammar errors, such as using “myself” when the sentence calls for “I” or “me.” Statements such as "please join Jerry ... 05/19/2023

If you do advertising for your real estate business, check out this case study of this ad to learn how to do advertising better. A breakdown of this awesome Coca-Cola Masterpieces Ad and how to make it better... What do you think?The new Coca-Cola Masterpiece “AI generated” ad has been widely praised for its special effects (some of which are AI generated) and all the masterpiece artwork that was used.But, I can’t help but feel that a little less focus on the effects and more on the storytelling would have resulted in a stronger ad.The agency that produced the ad failed by assuming too much about what the audience would perceive from the ad - that they would "get" the story on first-viewing, or would care by the end after the rollercoaster ride of special effects.One or two additional s... 05/19/2023
