Unrealistic estimates of a repair cost will eat many many years in possible cash flow. You need to work out quick smart if you are a property trader ie in and out at the drop of a hat or if you are going to hold. If you a going to…[Read more]

it was all quite positive stuff – it said more about the users of the products than the providers ie we need our gurus to drive sports cars and wear certain suits and specific colour ties etc etc we also want rules and formulas and of course the “secrets”.
