This is a serious problem! I have had clients that did not particularly want me to take photos of some areas such as offices, etc., because they did not want photos of their private possessions to “leak out” I assured them that photos would only be viewed by the lenders/investors who would be managing their loans. This is also a violation as appraisal information should only be used by the client and other specific intended users.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible.

If internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are porridge that is too cold, and EVs are perhaps too hot, hybrids, at least for now, appear to be “just right.

A worker who gets a raise should be pleased to bring home a bigger paycheck. But that bump in income doesn’t improve living standards in any meaningful way if their average rent is still far beyond their means. Most countries gauge prosperity by looking at income or wage growth, but those metrics don’t fully reflect what it takes to get by, writes Kweilin Ellingrud in Forbes.
