When I purchased my first property, a triplex row home in an outlying section of Harrisburg, I was very anxious to get to know my tenants on a personal level. I introduced myself and made myse

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

When my father upgraded his computer, I reloaded his old one

There are many tenants out there that feed off of landlords that want to be friends. Friends do friends favors… Like let them slide on the rent for a couple of days/weeks/months… T

This do good, caseworker mentality that I had in the beginning was the reason my first troublesome tenants were able to string out their own eviction for

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

a tenant tries to get too lovey dovey.

Here’s an example. One day I was wearing an Eagles sweatshirt (the year they went to the super bowl) while fixing a leaky sink. The tenant, who already

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

was on thin ice, saw her opportunity and seized it… “Eagles! Oh yea, a fellow Eagles Fan!”… With high five locked and loaded she came traipsing into the kitchen. Being a loyal E-A-G-L-E-S fan

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

I threw up my own high five…. CLAP! And I responded, “now Terry, where’s my rent?”

Long story short, as landlords we don’t have to be unapproachable and cold but we do need to be on the look

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

out. We need spot the occasional parasite tenant who wants to feed off an over friendly landlord. The bank asks that you pay your mortgage by the 16th of the month. No amount of friendly chatt

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

r will get you out of paying the mortgage on time. And that same friendly chatter shouldn’t influence you in collecting the rent when it is due. Always be a landlord first, and a friend second

tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products

Trade shows are often thought of an arena for large trade show displays and exhibit booths, but there is room for an effective banner stand as well.

A number of people choose to buy property with the intention of selling it at a later date. Buyers hold on to the property until the price increases. It is then sold at a substantial profit. This profitability makes the property a type of investment that can be cashed or maintained. This type of venture is commonly termed real estate investment. However, there are no guidelines that can positively determine if the investment is a good or bad one. To simplify this procedure, a number of people prefer to use real estate investment software.
