The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today.

Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

I try to use a tape measure whenever possible, if the 2nd floor has angles and complex areas I use a laser too; the problem lies in the homeowner understanding all of this, especially when it is a cape style with low 2nd floor. I did a house built in 1850, 2 stories, the assessor said it was 3200 sf, I measured according to current ANSI and came up with ZERO sf of gla as BOTH floors were less than 7′ in height, imagine the hysteria it created with the owner and the underwriter.
