PARIS — Anastasia Myskina knows how it feels to fight herself more than her opponent. She knows how it feels to get so frustrated that the urge rises to toss a racket or scream or even just give up.
And now, in part because Elena Dementieva struggled with such thoughts in the French Open final, Myskina knows how it feels to be a Grand Slam champion.
Myskina beat her countrywoman and friend 6-1, 6-2 Saturday at Roland Garros with solid play, steady resolve — and plenty of help from Dementieva's 33 unforced errors, including 10 double-faults.
"I was really emotional. I was really nervous, as well," Myskina said. "And I think, um, Elena was nervous more."
In keeping with the surprising nature of the past two weeks, the sixth-seeded Myskina became the first Russian woman to win a major title. And she did so at a tournament where she had never been past the second round, going 1-4.
It helped that the Williams sisters have been hampered by injuries and lack of matches. And that defending champion Justine Henin-Hardenne lost in the second round after missing six weeks with a viral infection. And that 2001 and 2003 French Open runner-up Kim Clijsters withdrew because of a bad wrist.
Still, Myskina earned her silver trophy and $1.02 million check. She changed pace and whipped the occasional winner against Dementieva the way she did in victories over Venus Williams and Jennifer Capriati. Myskina, who will jump to a career-high No. 3 in the rankings, shed tears of tension in the locker room Saturday, then went out on court and won nine of the 14 rallies that lasted 10 strokes or more.
She attributes her breakthrough to maturation, a newfound ability to keep her composure.
During a match at the Australian Open, she threw her racket and gestured toward her coach, Jens Gerlach, complaining that he wasn't supporting her vocally enough. Myskina tossed rackets in Paris, too, including while trailing in the fourth round against Svetlana Kuznetsova. (Myskina's the first woman since Margaret Smith-Court in 1962 to win the French Open after saving a match point.)
During the postmatch ceremony, Myskina turned to the guest box and addressed Gerlach, saying, "I'm a hard person. Sorry for everything."
"I know that it doesn't help if you yell at somebody. Finally, I became more professional on the court," she said later. "I started believing in myself more than in the past."
The 10 previous Slams featured six all-Williams finals and three all-Belgian finals, with plenty of ragged play, but nothing of Saturday's level. The first all-Russian championship match at a major was the most lopsided final at the French Open in 16 years, at any Slam in 10 years.
Maybe it was because Myskina and Dementieva met when they were 6 or 7 and taking lessons from the mother of 2000 U.S. Open champion Marat Safin at a Moscow club. Now 22, they're pals, and they know each other's weaknesses on court.
Myskina first pro title came in 1997 at a minor league event in Batumi, Georgia, when she was ranked 762nd. Her opponent in the final? Another Russian teen: 514th-ranked Elena Dementieva. All these years later, they combined for 15 double-faults, 11 break points, 50 unforced errors and 23 winners.
"It was an awkward matchup and an awkward match," Gerlach said. "But it's not about winning the beauty prize. It's about bringing home the championship."
Perhaps the play reflected a lack of experience: It was the first time since the 1981 French Open that both participants were making major final debuts.
That also will be the case in Sunday's all-Argentine men's final between No. 3 Guillermo Coria and unseeded Gaston Gaudio. One will be the French Open's 11th first-time Slam champion in 16 years — and the first Argentine man to win a major since Guillermo Vilas at the 1979 Australian Open.
Vilas mentored both (Coria was named after him). The last Russian woman in a major final, Olga Morozova, coaches Dementieva.
"It was very difficult to play the final, hold her nerve out there. It's a matter of holding everything together on the right day," said Morozova, who lost to Chris Evert in the 1974 French Open and Wimbledon finals.
Warming up, Dementieva missed six of her last nine practice serves, and her form didn't improve when it counted.
She double-faulted three times in her first service game, drawing groans from spectators. Looking as uncomfortable as Shaquille O'Neal at the free-throw line, Dementieva shanked serves into the net or was 3 feet long, raising her tournament total to 67 double-faults.
"I was waiting for this moment all my life," Dementieva said. "I just couldn't handle this pressure."
She actually broke a tentative Myskina to lead 1-0, then went 40 minutes before winning another game. After one double-fault, Dementieva wheeled and yelled, "Nyet!" A streak of Russian words followed; her translation later: "I hate my serve."
Asked how good she could be if she improved that part of her game, Dementieva's face reddened. She began to cry and said, "I don't know how to serve."

Saturday Night Live
Drake and Saturday Night Live devotees will remember that Drizzy delivered during his first visit as host-and-musical-guest in January 2014. In addition to playing Jay Z, Lil Wayne, and Katt Williams, he also portrayed himself as the 13-year-old Drake at his bar mitzvah. The erstwhile Aubrey Graham seemed as confident in his comedy as he was in his music; maybe it wasn't as magical as Justin Timberlake's first job hosting, but it was well worth noting. But much has happened in the two years that have transpired: Drake hit with the ubiquitous "Hotline Bling" and "Jumpman," featured on tracks like Rihanna's "Work," took down Meek Mill in a pair of diss tracks (one of which got nominated for a Grammy), and did more comedy on Kimmel and as host of the ESPYs. There is a lot of ground to cover when Drake arrives to host a second time, and SNL does a good job of touching on it without hitting everything right on the nose (e.g. the Meek Mill beef mutates into a petty revenge fantasy lampooning all hip-hop scuffles). Drake, for his part, exhibits a lot of charm, poise and a sense of humor about himself.
Donald Trump / Chris Christie Cold Open
As far as cold opens go, this one's pretty limp. It plucks the most outrageous headline from a fairly uneventful week — Trump ostensibly posing as his own publicist with reporters in the '90s — but doesn't run very far with it. After Trump (Darrell Hammond) masquerades as "Joey Pepperoni" on the phone, Chris Christie (Bobby Moynihan) produces photos of potential vice-presidential candidates and the Donald dismisses them. The kiss-offs aren't particularly noteworthy — for instance, he shrugs off Carly Fiorina because she's "a B-cup" — though the sketch does give a nice sense of Christie as Trump's hapless lapdog.
The monologue, which quickly becomes a musical number, is Drake's tongue-in-cheek plea to internet haters who, for instance, spat out hundreds of "Hotline Bling" dance memes. The central grumble — "I'm more than a meme" — is amusing, but the punchlines within the song don't always land. ("I do not complain, I'm not a whiner / But why am I sitting on the Seinfeld diner?" looks funnier in print than it is when it's sung.) The thing that saves it is Drake's sudden announcement that Rihanna is in the building before he dons a wig and does a quick RiRi impression. It's warm, silly, and it sets the tone for the evening.
More than its story or stakes, this sketch is a pretext for Drake and Jay Pharoah to play noxious, self-obsessed customer service reps at a rental car counter. Drake is the combative, oblivious guy who can't keep his personal life from bleeding into his professional one; Pharoah is the lazy-tongued and incompetent manager who favors the phrase, "This whole situation is unbeknowest to me." The two of them are having fun, which is enough to make it watchable, but the duo's misbehaviors don't amount to much.
American Ninja Warrior
An idea no one wants to entertain while watching sports: Behind the competitor with "a lot of heart," and a tumultuous back story, there just may be some poor schlub unprepared to attempt any feat of physical prowess. Forty-two-year-old high school teacher Jeff Metcalf (Moynihan) is such a man. Though his small Texas town was ripped apart by a hurricane, he's raring to take on the American Ninja Warrior obstacle course. He fails, miserably. The sketch features a couple of nice pratfalls from Moynihan and some sad truths about well-intentioned failures. While replaying Metcalf's first spill, the announcer says this of his family and friends: "If you watch closely, you can see the hope drain from their faces."
Dennis Walls and the Cookies
Drake nods to his '70s R&B predecessors here, becoming a sensual soul vocalist à la Isaac Hayes or Barry White. Crooner Dennis Walls fails to remember the name of the director for his special "Sexy Kinda Evening," and now he and his backup dancers must deal with a number of attempts to sabotage his rampant sexiness. The bits are all AV gags: A rigged mic makes Walls sound like a "chipmunk," and he is forced to solo on a tiny sax. It's cute but slow, until the final prop — a revolving bed that spins as fast as a Gravitron — picks things up and provides an opportunity for some awkwardly racy poses.
Office Boss
Beck Bennett's recurring role as the businessman who has "the body of a baby," is one of the best physical performances to come out of SNL in the last few years. The context here is new — Paul Ryan (Taran Killam) is considering Mr. Patterson as a potential third-party presidential candidate — but the only thing that matters is Bennett's well-observed flailing, drooling, and stumbling. (His thrashing attempt to sign a piece of paper is particularly delightful.) With apologies to Drake, who has just a modest amount to do here, Bennett's commitment makes this the sketch of the night.
Weekend Update
The first half of Update revisits Trump's very likely excursions posing as his own publicist, "John Miller"; the best gag is Michael Che's insistence that Trump "show us John Miller's birth certificate." Kate McKinnon's long-suffering Russian peasant character, Olya Povlatsky, returns to talk about the presumptive Republican nominee, too. As always, McKinnon's spry and wild-eyed hamming sells what might be otherwise middling material about the horrible conditions in Russia. Her best barb about Trump: "Every 10 years, he comes to my village in the middle of the night to take a new wife!"
Jost sounds genuinely passionate about bathroom bills like the one that recently passed in North Carolina, and he nails one joke in particular: "The irony of this bathroom bill is that 'Bathroom Bill' sounds like the perfect name for a restaurant pervert." As something of a late bloomer herself, Leslie Jones is qualified to talk about the "never too late" success stories popping up on social media this week; it's sad to hear Jones tore her ACL doing the ninja sketch a couple of months ago, but the piece is loose and fun. Jay Pharoah reappears with another "secret rappers' meeting" — a short series of impressive impressions of everyone from Jay Z to Nicki Minaj. It's another whirlwind that leaves the audience giddy.
Black Jeopardy
The recurring Black Jeopardy sketches are about social codes: Those who understand black culture innately know something that outsiders and posers do not. This round, usual contestants Amir (Pharoah) and Keeley (Sasheer Zamata) square off against a Canadian dread named Jared (Drake). Jared drops references to the Juno Awards and, when asked about a certain comedian's "raw" and "delirious" routines from the '80s, conjures Rick Moranis. (Drake, of course, has his bona fides but as a Toronto resident, remains something of a misfit. The sketch gets a bit of mileage out of this, but there's only so far the writers can go with it.)
Drake's Beef
Here, Drake gets to show off his rapping chops while scoring laughs. As varying members of the SNL cast and staff commit faux pas against Drizzy backstage, he gets into elaborate, angry rhymes about how they offended him. Given how little can set someone off in the world of hip-hop, and Drake's own recent beef with Meek Mill, this is effective. Eventually, Drake is spitting hot fire about Lorne Michaels, who only delivers his host the faint praise, "Good job." Sample lyric: "I can never trust you, 'cause you were rude to my hat."
Spring Fling at Wilson H.S.
This sketch is strange but as far as five-to-ones go, it isn't incredibly weird. A bizarro chaperone at a high school Spring Fling encourages kids to dance and gets lost in flights of fancy about drinking beer with Osama bin Laden and O.J. Simpson. The writing has some redeeming qualities, but it needs someone to either do a credible Hulk Hogan impression or create another, fully-fledged character — Drake can't quite accomplish either one.
There aren't any great revelations in the show tonight, but just as he did in 2014, Drake proves himself an adept host: He is enthusiastic, assured and he plays well with others. Moments of silliness, such as his unexpected Rihanna quick-change and impression, play just as well as the self-effacing bits like "Drake's Beef." Certainly, as long as Drake stays culturally relevant in the next several years, SNL will have reason to want him back.

Last offseason Willie Bloomquist returned to Seattle for a second stint with the Mariners, signing a two-year, $5.8 million deal that seemed like a clear over-pay for a 36-year-old, career-long utility man.
He hit like his usual self in a part-time role last season, posting a .643 OPS while missing time with a knee injury, but after batting .159 in 35 games this season the Mariners decided to cut bait. Bloomquist has been designated for assignment to make room for Chris Taylor's return from Triple-A.
This is the 14th season in which Bloomquist has spent at least some time in the majors, which is amazing considering he's a career .269 hitter with a .658 OPS who received more than 350 plate appearances just twice (2009, 2011) and never cracked a .750 OPS.
Given how well-liked Bloomquist seemed to be by both teammates and media members a career in coaching or broadcasting probably awaits him, but it's possible he'll try to latch on somewhere at Triple-A to keep playing.

Gateway city travelers face new scrutiny in trenches of trade war
DETROIT — Laura Pineault had no idea she was about to step onto the front lines of a trade war when her mother, Diane, a massage therapist in Windsor, Ontario, asked her to pick up some candles at a Detroit package drop.
It's common, Diane Pineault explained, for Canadians who live near the border to have items sent to U.S. addresses to save on shipping. And candles are much less expensive in the U.S., even factoring in taxes that must be paid when the goods are formally imported.
So Laura, a Ph.D. student at Wayne State University who like her mother is a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen, was tasked with acting as Mom's import agent, going through the commercial line on the Canadian side of the tunnel that connects Detroit and Windsor. She filled out computerized forms for what she expected to be a routine process.
She was unaware that candles were among the U.S. products slapped with Canadian tariffs in retaliation for President Donald Trump's 25 percent levy on Canadian steel. So she was surprised when she was told to bring a candle into the border station. An agent inspected it, consulted with a colleague and determined it was subject to a 10 percent tariff on top of the 8 percent commercial tax.
Laura paid $40 on the spot on the $230 worth of candles and was on her way.
"It seemed like I was importing something really bad," she said. "It's a candle."
More:Could U.S.-Mexico deal signal more stock gains?
More:Why he's fighting it and how tariffs work
More:Businesses feel the pain of a growing trade war under Trump
Such incidents are becoming more common at border cities such as Detroit and Windsor. With thousands of visitors, workers, shoppers and tourists each day crossing the Detroit River that separates the two cities, delays and misunderstandings have cropped up with increasing frequency.
Laurie Tannous, an immigration lawyer and vice president of government relations at Farrow, a Canadian freight handler, noted that the region's many cross-border grocery shoppers who had typically zipped through customs with at best minor delays are facing greater scrutiny.
"We're seeing the border service officers looking at the items on the list to determine whether the surtaxes need to be applied," she said. "Grocery shoppers are saying, 'Hey, we're getting pulled over more, we're being charged these taxes.'"
And what some call this "thickening" of the border stymies not just shoppers but other travelers as well.
"It's been awful for people going both ways — just the delays, the extra questions, the scrutiny," Tannous said. "My phone blows up every morning. Between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m., I get at least two more requests from people going either into the U.S. or into Canada who used to go without issue and now are having problems. So in terms of the people movement, even though it's got nothing to do with the tariff and trade issue, people are feeling it."
So far, most over-the-road truckers crossing the border don't worry about tariffs because freight-forwarding companies such as Farrow typically put up bonds to cover duties that are calculated and paid after the fact. But that, too, could get worse if the trade war escalates.
Could trucks be inspected?
"It could get to a point where officers are doubting how a good has been classified and whether it should be classified as something else," Tannous said. "And that could trigger a de-vanning of commercial loads, going both ways in fact. That could cause a disruption."
Forcing an unloading and inspection of commercial truck loads at the border could do more than create massive traffic jams. By slowing the pace of commerce, it would also hurt the economies of both nations.
"If this trade war continues, if these tariffs stay in place, I think we could get to that level," Tannous said.
This in-your-face experience of a trade war is not how most Americans feel the effects of higher tariffs. For the vast majority, tariffs may translate into higher prices at the grocery store or car dealership, but those increases may be masked by seasonal shortages and competitive factors.
For farmers, the tariff dispute just adds another layer of complexity to the myriad challenges they already face. Take Travis Fahley, who grows corn, wheat and soybeans on a 2,500-acre family farm in Yale, Michigan, about 70 miles north of Detroit. Some of Fahley's output, especially his soybeans, wind up in China and other Asian nations after first being sold to and processed by a company in western Michigan, and so are subject to China's tariffs on U.S. goods.

More:U.S., China impose fresh round of tariffs as escalating trade war shows no signs of ending
More:These companies might close, lay off US workers because of Trump's trade war
Soybean prices have dropped sharply as the tariffs imposed by both nations have begun to bite and buyers are finding ways to avoid the higher prices. But Fahley said it's difficult to discern the exact impact from tariffs at a time when agricultural prices have softened generally and farmers like himself have to deal with many other variables from weather to seed and fuel prices.
Asked how he would rank tariffs with all the other variables that farmers face — weather, crop prices, the cost of seed and fuel, and so much more — Fahley places concerns over trade "in the middle of the pack."
"For us personally, it's on our radar, we're aware of it, we're watching it, we're monitoring it, but we understand that we have to let these things work themselves through," he said.
But concerns over tariffs could rise over the winter and and into spring when he and other farmers map out what to plant. If prices for his soybeans collapse because Chinese customers are buying elsewhere, Fahley may plant fewer soybeans and more corn and wheat on his acreage.
"Farmers are being as sensitive and as frugal as they can," Fahley said. "Everybody's trying to get every penny and every dollar to keep the family businesses going."
Always tariffs, but not 25 percent
Far to the south, farmer Bobby Nedbalek grows cotton and grain sorghum on his property in Sinton, Texas, near the busy port city of Corpus Christi. He said he has heard anecdotes about large shipments of Texas agriculture goods bound for China being diverted to other nations within hours of the tariffs taking effect.
"For a while there was a horrible emergency created over that situation," Nedbalek said. "It was a reaction that hit us right between the eyes."
"As farmers … we always have tariffs one way or another. But it was never 25 percent," said Nedbalek, who sits on the board of the National Sorghum Producers. "We're counting on negotiators to settle this as soon as possible. It has impacted the market and the movement commodities we harvest. We're the first ones to feel the pressure if China isn't buying what they're contracted to."
Corpus Christi is another of America's gateway cities, its port hosting more than 7,000 vessels each year. The vast majority of the port's haul — 86 percent of it — is shipments of petroleum and crude oil.
Talk of tariffs being applied to liquefied natural gas heated up earlier this summer but those levies have not materialized. If they do, it could have an impact on the Corpus Christi area, which is home to more than a dozen industrial plants that are in various stages of development.
But for now, officials in the port city remain hopeful.
"While the current trade disputes between China and the U.S. are certainly creating short-term headwinds in consumer products, technology, agriculture and crude oil, we do not foresee any long-term structural impacts on trade with China," said Sean Strawbridge, the port's CEO. "Their economy is much more reliant on trade with the U.S. than ours, and their growing appetite for energy creates a natural market for American energy production as their consumer base grows."
Clearly, though, these gateway cities will see more impacts if the trade dispute with China and other nations continues and deepens.
As Tannous said, the longer a trade war lingers, the more ordinary Americans will feel it, including people living far from gateway cities.

Getting the Most Out of Attending a Seminar or Conventions (Part I of II)Posted on December 5, 2014 by
I'll admit it; I'm a bit of a seminar junkie. I go to every seminar I can and I probably should go to the "Seminars Anonymous" meeting too. The truth is, I've learned from all of them (even the bad ones). I sit near the back so that I can find an electrical outlet for my laptop and type furious notes as I'm listening. Some larger conferences offer wi-fi (wireless) access so you can browse the Internet when a speaker mentions a specific site. Trouble is you tend to check your email and wander other places online. And then you're not actively listening. So beware of being too plugged in.
How do you know if the seminar was worth the cost, the hassle of traveling and the time out of the office? If you're not purposeful, after a week or two, you may not even remember the name of the great speaker let alone what he or she said or what you got out of it. And you really haven't changed the way you do business or anything. Here are some steps to take to set yourself up for success before you actually fork out your hard earned dollars.
To get the most out of any seminar (or event in general), there are two sets of preparation, pre and post event. US Army lives by the 5 P's – Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. So, here are a few things you can do prior to jetting out. Read More→
SubordinationPosted on December 5, 2014 by
This technique will be used frequently and is one of my favorites to make a property easy to fund. It simply means the seller will take back a second, allowing you to get a new first to cover down payment and other costs.
The big advantage is it sets the stage for you to negotiate a deal that's easy to fund because you can borrow the first at a low LTV making a hard money loan easy to get.
Seller wants $1,000,000 for an apartment complex that needs $100,000 in work. She owns it free and clear and fixed up and rented, you feel it's worth $1,800,000. Seller says she'll take $100,000 down and the balance within 24 months but will subordinate to a new first and take low or no payments or interest on the $900,000 second.
Purchase price $1,000,000
Down payment $ 100,000
Seller second $ 900,000
New hard money 1st $300,000
Less down payment -100,000
Less rehab costs -100,000
Cash to you $100,000
Financing structure
New 1st $300,000
Seller 2nd +900,000 – no or low payments
Your exit is to buy, fix and refinance with a good, permanent loan, or sell. You should be able to get a $1,350,000 loan (75%) or more and pull out cash once it's stabilized. Read More→
Foreclosures Flying Through Courts – Deficiency Judgments SoaringPosted on December 5, 2014 by
In January of 2014, Florida passed a law that allowed the Banks to push their foreclosures through the court system faster than the normal 879 days that it used to take. I have seen foreclosures go through the court as quickly as 4 to 5 months because the Sellers, even though they do not have an attorney, do not take the time to file an "Answer" when they are served with the Summons and Complaint. An Answer, in which they themselves can file, simply states that they would like this matter set for trial. This letter includes the caption of the court pleading and their address and telephone number. They would have to file this Answer with the Court along with a Proof of Service that they mailed a copy to the Attorney representing the Plaintiff (Bank). Once an Answer is filed, the Court must slow down the Foreclosure proceedings to allow enough time for the proper hearings that are entitled to the Sellers.
I used to advise my students to wait to send marketing letters to Sellers who were in Foreclosure for at least 6 months. Times have changed! I am now recommending, due to this new law, that the marketing starts as soon as the Notice of Lis Pendens (a document letting the public know that the Sellers are in Foreclosure) is served to the Seller. Many Sellers are running scared. They are moving out before they even have time to fight the fight. I say "Don't Run and Don't Let the Bank Win" and do a short sale. Even if you are doing a Loan Modification and/or Short Sale, the Bank is still pushing through the Courts to get a foreclosure hearing date set. However, a short sale takes control of the Sellers destiny. Read More→
Using Forms to Free Up More TimePosted on December 5, 2014 by
"What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork." ~ Pearl Bailey
Welcome to 2015 – I know it's going to be a great year! And while the weather is cold, what a good time it is to review office procedures and forms to make sure the business is humming along as efficiently as possible. I guess you could call it a kind of pre-spring cleaning. I know, it's not as good as sledding, but work with me, here.
If you've taken any of my courses, you know how much I like to automate. The fewer steps it takes to get something done, the better I like it. Creating a good system of business forms is a big part of automation, especially if I can get forms to share information with each other, or feed data into a spreadsheet. So part of my pre-spring cleaning is to review my forms every now and then to make sure they still make sense.
And let's face it: There's nothing more annoying than trying to work with a badly designed form. If you doubt that, get online right now and try applying for a job at some big company. It can be a real nightmare!
Forms, of course, have always been a pain in the neck. The military is famous for them. Heck, the Romans probably had rotten forms, too. Until just a few years ago, there was no relief from bad forms. You were stuck with whatever form somebody handed you. Read More→
How Sellers Think Differently Than InvestorsPosted on December 5, 2014 by
This month I want to continue the line of thinking how sellers think differently than investors. Last month I talked about how sellers believe their property is worth top dollar even though many times they failed to keep the property in good condition.
Once you realize this will be what you will be facing when you first talk to most sellers you will have a better understanding of why sellers say the things they do when you ask them questions, such as "We Want ALL Cash" for our house.
You need to realize that the investor is trying to buy just another house they can make money with, while many sellers are selling a home that has emotional meaning to them if they live in the property. This difference of thoughts and emotion make a huge difference when you are negotiating. As I said before, this isn't rocket science it's just a fact of life. When you understand how sellers think you might have an easier time putting together a more profitable deal. By finding out what the seller's true needs are, will give you a position of power when negotiating your deals. Remember, each seller has just one house to sell and you have thousands of houses to look at and choose from. This is why you are the one in the position of power when negotiating.
More than anything else you need to know why the seller is selling their house if you want to create a win-win deal. You truly are in control of each negotiation. You just don't realize it. I concluded many years ago that I have lived many years without this seller's house and if I am unsuccessful making a deal I will probably live out the rest of my life just fine without that house.
Here is a list of things you need to think about when talking to every seller. Read More→
Starters, Estate Builders and EndersPosted on December 5, 2014 by
There are three stages of real estate investing: Starters, Estate Builders and Enders. Do you know which stage you're in? Many flippers and wholesalers think they're Estate Builders when, in fact, they're actually running a highly taxed retail business – they're not real estate investors! (Saying this is sure to ruffle some feathers, but read on before you call me a liar.)
As the stage implies, a Starter is someone who's just getting started in real estate. He usually knows little about contracts, rehabbing, landlording or how to creatively structure and fund a deal. He's been to the closing table less than six times. We're talking about someone who's wet behind the ears!
An Estate Builder may still be new to real estate, but his focus is different from a Starter's. An Estate Builder's deals are structured to increase the investor's monthly mailbox money! Mailbox money is money made when your capital assets are working for you instead of you working for your capital assets. Examples of capital assets are rental property and notes.
An Ender has been investing in real estate for decades. He's very experienced at creatively constructing deals. Many Enders cut back on the number of rentals they own in exchange for simpler-to-manage capital assets like notes, options and master leases. Read More→
Outsourcing Your WholesalingPosted on December 5, 2014 by
Are you doing absolutely everything in your Wholesaling business? Are you driving for dollars, writing your own letters, stuffing your own envelopes, building your own websites, creating your own flyers, taking the calls from sellers, inspecting the properties, getting them under contract, then posting the properties online, pitching them at meetings, showing the properties to investors, etc? Whew – that's a lot of stuff eh??
Well if you are doing absolutely everything on your own, it's time to stop! There is help out there. And yes – there is a balancing act: "do I do it myself" or "do I pay someone else to do it"??? Naturally there are some things you will want to do on your own – mainly talking with motivated sellers, making offers, and then getting the deal sold to other investors. So how can you get to where those are the ONLY things you have to do? There's a lot of other stuff right?
Well the marketing is obviously important – probably the most important thing. There are services out there that can do your marketing for you. Namely letter writing services like www.YellowLetter.com and companies like that. They will create either Yellow Letters or Postcards to send out and they will mail it for you. You just need to provide the list. I believe you can buy lists from them as well. And there are plenty of other list providers out there – do your research. So if you get a list and send it to YellowLetters.com now that part of your marketing is done. Sit back and wait for the phone to start ringing. Read More→
Why We Do What We DoPosted on December 5, 2014 by
This month, I'm going to take a break from the normal subject matter that I write about (marketing, real estate, technology, etc.) to focus on something a bit more… important. If you're not ready for a little introspection, go ahead & stop reading now. I won't judge.
However, if you're open for some insight that just might help you grow not only your business but yourself as well, I humbly invite you to keep an open mind & keep reading. Please know that I'm usually a very private person, so a lot of the subject matter I'll be writing about here is challenging for me to open up about.
There's nothing like a challenge or personal tragedy in your life that will almost compel you to stop or at least slow down to re-evaluate the things you're doing and the direction you're heading. For me personally, I had such a tragedy occur recently when my father passed away from a combination of Alzheimer's, old age & a heart condition just one month shy of his 96th birthday. Three months later, his older sister (my aunt) joined him. She was mere weeks away from turning 100.
My father was a full colonel (retired) in the U.S. Air Force. He served his country honorably, and, as I recently discovered, contributed to many (Classified) projects during the time he served that set the framework for things that are still in place today. By the time this article is published, he will have been laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. I have no doubt that this will be an experience that will be cherished by all who attend. Read More→
Nine Unique Strategies to Locate Motivated SellersPosted on December 5, 2014 by
There are several rather unusual ways that I like to use to locate motivated sellers. I'd like to share several of my favorites with you so you can find even more motivated sellers in a non-conventional way. This is absolutely the best time of the year to be locating motivated sellers since property tax bills have just gone out to owners in many states AND the holiday season is upon us. As you know one of my favorite techniques to locate highly motivated sellers is using direct mail and during the holiday season sellers are opening all of their mail since they are getting letters from friends they have not heard from in a year. Here are some of my other favorite albeit unusual techniques to find highly motivated sellers.
The first of these is to contact auction houses in your area and work with them to help you find leads on houses for sale. I'm talking about the auction you go to on Friday or Saturday night to buy "stuff". Where do you think these auction houses get their merchandise? They get it from homeowners who need to get rid of a household full of items. One way to find these auction houses is to look in the yellow pages or google "Auctions" and find the ads that say "we consign estates". These are going to be the ones you will want to work with. Many times an auction house will be contacted by an heir to sell items remaining in a property to settle an estate or to simply get rid of things remaining in the property after they inherit it. They may also be working with a widow or widower who wants to get rid of their excess furnishings, sell the home, and move into an assisted living facility or with a relative. The next item of business is to get the property sold as well. You can make a deal with the owner of the auction house to contact you when these situations arise, and they will give you the information about the sellers. If you offer a fair price and the auction house gets paid a commission, this is a good way to buy houses no one else knows about. Read More→
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly HousePosted on December 5, 2014 by
I was recently on a panel discussing the business models of pretty houses vs. ugly houses. The good news is that both businesses are extremely viable in today's economy.
Because I have been a successful investor for so many years, I know that there is no wrong choice between the two strategies, but I also know that it is essential to have both techniques in your arsenal so that you can take advantage of all possibilities. The more options you have, the better your chances are of making the most money.
I would like to teach YOU about both business models so that you have yet another tool to help you to succeed. Here is just some of the knowledge I'd like to share with you.
The Ugly House
An Ugly House is a distressed property. When you drive past an ugly house, you will see needed repairs, tall grass, and broken windows. There may be prostitutes, drug dealers, and individuals who make it unappealing to live in the community. A majority of Ugly houses are typically in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods, but sometimes in moderate or middle class neighborhoods.
The Ugly House Market is large because after 15 years, a new house will have a higher chance of being ugly because of deterioration. The owners have let things go. They have not maintained the property. They may not have bought a new roof or an HVAC system; there are large ticket items that need to be addressed. Read More→
We Know The Banksters Lied In Order To Steal Millions of Houses, But What Does It Mean For You?Posted on December 5, 2014 by
There have been over 20 million foreclosures in the United States since 2007 and more than 5.5 million homes have been repossessed. Meanwhile the major banks have been laughing as they cash in to the tune of $65-75 BILLION dollars every month from the Federal Reserve. According to the regulators in charge of protecting our currency we should rest assured that this was all an innocent mistake. Well we now have leaked documents that show that the major banks created their tangled web of risky financial transactions not by accident, but with the specific intent of bypassing local jurisdictions' recording requirements and taxes.
By now most real estate investors have heard of MERS as it has taken on a kind of bogey man type of presence. They might not know what it's all about, but they know it's bad. The concept behind MERS was fairly simple. The banks were creating so many loans and transferring ownership so much that it became an expensive nightmare to file the right documents in the right jurisdictions and pay the resulting taxes from each transaction. Instead of doing the honest and ethical thing – paying the taxes and filing the paperwork properly – more than 25 of the largest financial institutions and insurance agencies in the nation teamed up to create MERS, Inc. When a loan was originated, MERS would appear as the owner. Meanwhile, in the back office system of MERS, actual ownership and administration of the loan would be bought and sold countless times without the local jurisdictions or borrowers ever being notified, thus allowing the bank to avoid the taxes and document filing that were legally required.

The Secret to Real Rehab ProfitsPosted on December 5, 2014 by
Want to recover the most for your remodeling dollar at resale? Keep it simple, pay to have it done right and don't over improve. Moderately priced materials and finishes are a smarter bet than top-of-the-line treatments. Use quality, but the least ornate options. The simplest but most ideal forms of renovations you can do add the largest bang for the buck.
You will find, in a neighborhood of $100,000 homes, adding a $50,000 kitchen may give you the edge over the competition at resale, but it probably won't boost the sale price much. Those who use REIAComps along with getting advice from the Valuation Support Desk have the edge knowing the right improvements to make in most any market area across the country. The complete control and feeling of confidence REIAComps users have over their deals is priceless.
At InvestorCompsOnline, the developer of REIAComps, from 2010-2014 smart investors who use a valuation first approach to investing, doing projects nationwide (no do-it-yourself), have attained excellent ROI at resale. When it came to adding the most dollar value at resale, here are the "Secret Six" which proved time and again to be the best areas in a home to address.
Drum roll please….in reverse order working towards the best renovation options, Upscale Owners Suite Addition comes in sixth. Focusing on the interests of the actual buyer, making them feel good when they lay their head down at night, is hard to mess up. Read More→
Why Self-Directed Retirement Investing is More Important Now than EverPosted on December 5, 2014 by
When most people think of retirement they think of long walks on the beach, golf, sitting around the house enjoying their grandchildren, and other happy thoughts. If you look at how most investment and annuity companies advertise, that's exactly the dream they're pushing. That advertising and marketing strategy has worked very well at getting Americans to fork over their hard-earned money to money managers, brokers and other financial professionals for them to underperform the Index on their behalf.
The thing is, it used to be easier. For example, the long term average dividend for U.S. equities has been 4.4 percent, going back to the 1920s. Stocks are paying a dividend of less than half that figure now, at 1.9 percent for the S&P 500.
Meanwhile, investors are currently paying 20 times earnings and up for exposure to the stock market. The long-term average is closer to 15 times earnings. Your parents and grandparents were getting a much greater return on investment than you are likely to get going into retirement.
In the 1970s, you could easily buy bonds that generated 10 to 12 percent interest, without breaking a sweat. Money markets even generated some solid numbers north of 5 percent and up. Inflation was a factor then, but inflation moderated, finally, going into the 80s, when investors simultaneously enjoyed the beginning of one of the biggest bull markets in history. But that happened because dividends could be profitably reinvested and multiples were simultaneously expanding from the tough times of the 1970s. Read More→
Takeoffs Are Optional, Landings Are Mandatory!Posted on December 5, 2014 by
The sky was clear and it was a nice warm summer afternoon. My flight instructor had just stepped out of the small trainer airplane and left me alone for the first time. I was just about to taxi the plane out and to do my first solo flight as an aviation student. I was terrified and exhilarated at the same time. Just before my instructor closed the door behind him he leaned back in and gave me one last lesson that I will never forget. "Remember kid, takeoffs are optional but landings are mandatory."
This was a great aviation lesson and an equally valuable business lesson. When flying a plane we need to make sure everything is ready before takeoff. Do we have enough fuel? How is the weather between here and where we are going? Do we know where we are going? Once you leave the ground there are no timeouts. You don't get to pull over and walk home once you are in the air. You will land that plane in one piece or in many but either way you will land. Years later I realized that doing a real estate deal is no different. You can chose to close or not to close but once you do buy the deal you are in it for the long haul.
The point I am making here is, that like safely landing an airplane, our exit strategy for our deal is just as important. Some people say "you make money when you buy". I wholly disagree with this statement. You may create value when you buy but you don't make money until you exit the deal profitably. Saying that you make money on the purchase is a cliché that I find to be dangerous. This is like saying as long as I get my plane into the air everything else will take care of itself. I hope you would not get on a commercial flight after hearing the captain saying that. Trust me, your investors and partners will not want to hear you say anything like that either. Read More→

I will be interviewing with McKinsey next week. I've been watching the case interview video and it was extremely useful. However, regarding the business situation framework, I have a question.
Yesterday I had my first case interview workshop in McKinsey.
Two highlights from the workshop are: 1) Don't ask too many questions or do not ask questions at all; 2) When you are coming up with the framework, be result-oriented.
I've been using the business situation framework in the workshop. What I noticed was that your business situation framework seems to include everything.
In a situation where we need to get information, this framework is good. But the trainer mentioned we should be clear about why we are including certain items in the framework, and explain the reasons at the beginning.
So the difficulty I've found was since I barely knew much information when I was constructing the framework, I was unable to explain why I should include them and how they would direct me into my potential conclusion.
Now I'm a bit concerned that if I use the business situation framework in the interview and ask questions on the checklist, the interviewer would think I am asking too many questions, which in the workshop, the McKinsey trainer made it clear not to do.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve that?
My Reply:
Let me answer this question by explaining why the trainer has made this point about not asking too many questions.
The complaint I'm seeing from interviewers is that candidates are getting frameworks from books and off the internet that have a laundry list of questions to ask.
The candidate memorizes the entire list, and then asks the questions one-by-one until the person has asked all 20 questions on the "framework".
From the interviewer's standpoint, this is annoying because all the interviewer has been able to do is confirm the candidate's ability to memorize a list of 20 questions.
And to be fair, my framework list including the business situation framework does have a list of questions attached to it (available to you at www.caseinterview.com/login listed underneath the 12 videos).
So this is why the trainer is telling people to not just mechanically memorize a list of questions and ask them during an interview. The problem is this approach doesn't demonstrate any critical thinking, analysis, or problem solving ability.
What is the missing piece in this approach?
Any guesses?
I'll give you a second to think about it. It's a very common mistake that everyone who has gone through my Look Over My Shoulder® program should 1) be very familiar with, 2) recognize the bad habit from a mile away, and 3) know not to make this mistake.
So what's missing?
A hypothesis.
The purpose of a framework, the business situation framework or any framework, is to start a case. It is not to finish a case.
Remember this:
Start a case with a framework. Transition to a hypothesis. Drive the rest of your analysis using the hypothesis as your guide. End on a synthesis (or in case interview practice, lots of mini-syntheses after every major transition in the case, as demonstrated in Look Over My Shoulder®.)
The hypothesis driven approach can evolve in one of three ways:
a) It still makes sense to go through the rest of the business situation framework on a selective basis — meaning you only cover the questions that seem the most relevant given the hypothesis. So often this will involve skipping four out of five questions listed in the framework.
As you include the questions that are relevant, you want to explain what your hypothesis is, what information you need and why… and then ask your question.
(This is the trainer's point about if you're going to ask a question, explain why the question is relevant).
So if hypothesis is: I think the client should enter this market. The market demand is there. The client has the right product for the market. Margins are excellent. but, to be really sure, I need to analyze the competition to determine two factors: 1) are clients being served by existing competitors, and 2) does the client's capabilities represent a genuine competitive advantage in the marketplace?
If competitors are ignoring the target customer segment, and the client's capabilities are in fact unique in the marketplace — meaning it has a major competitive advantage, then this would confirm my hypothesis.
With that in mind, I'd like to analyze the competitors. First, do any competitors even exist? I see.. how many are there? What are their market shares? I see… a very fragmented market. (mini-synthesis) This looks favorable to my hypothesis.
Are any competitors focusing on the target customer segment? Oh, none are… that's interesting, that means the target customer segment is potentially under-served.
Do the competitors offer a comparable product even if intended for a different market segment? No… well that's really interesting.
Notice by stating the hypothesis up front, it's much easier to "see where I'm going" with my line of questioning.
If I forget or fail to state the hypothesis as soon as possible (and Look Over My Shoulder® members know to never ever make this mistake), the questions do not have any coherence or organization to them. It just looks like a bunch of questions.
Basically the question to ask yourself is this (and write this down — it's very important): "What information do I need to prove or disprove this hypothesis?"
b) It may make sense to switch to a different framework. This very common with cases that seem to start with the profitability framework. The profitability framework will tell you what is wrong with a company (costs too high, sales volume too low, etc…), but it will not tell you why, nor will it tell you what to do about it.
c) The final scenario is to use a customized issue tree (see the three example hand-drawn issue tree diagrams in Look Over My Shoulder® as a reference — I believe it's in cases #2, #4, and #5). You use a custom issue tree (basically making up your own framework on the spot) when the current framework does not fit nor does any other "standard" framework you know.
You can see an example of this with an actual BCG case at:
So to wrap up this question, I think the trainer's statement to ask very few or no questions is an over-reaction to the endless question-asking problem made by many candidates (but hopefully not by anyone reading my emails!).
The only time when you can reasonable start with a hypothesis is in a profitability… "My hypothesis is it's a cost problem. Lets look at costs."
The hypothesis will most likely be wrong or overly general, but it's probably still a good idea to use it anyway. It gives the analysis some direction.
I suppose you could also start a case like a market entry case (typically associated with the business situation framework), with a very simple hypothesis. The client wants to know: should they enter the XYZ market? My hypothesis is "yes".
It's kind of a lame hypothesis, but it IS a hypothesis and you still need to go through the business situation framework to refine why you think "yes", but for the sake of being 100% hypothesis-driven and not just 90% hypothesis-driven, it's probably a good idea to start this way.
Then as you transition immediately into the business situation framework, you'd say that customer demand and customer trends would need to be favorable in order to support this hypothesis, so let's analyze this further.
a) Do any customers exist today? b) What are the segments?, etc… As you learn new things, keep tying in back to the hypothesis, and refine the hypothesis as you go.
Again, there are about ten hours of examples of this "rhythm" in Look Over My Shoulder® (especially the last example for each case, which is the "best practice" version).

How far apart should bollards be placed?
There are a number of guidelines you must keep in mind, despite the fact that there are no standards regarding how far apart bollards should be placed. Bollards should be spaced in such a way that your goal will be accomplished--barring unnecessary traffic from entering a particular area. At the same time, you don't want to space them too close together otherwise they will create new problems. Bollards placed to control traffic and vehicle access should be spaced to fit nearly all vehicles or none at all.
Areas with multi-channels are required to be managed correctly to protect your employees, customers, and other assets are one of many possible circumstances. The way you place Bollards can forbid vehicles access and still let pedestrians flow through easily. As a rule of thumb in bollard installation service, it is suggested that the spacing between every Bollard should not be greater than 5 feet. This is because an average-sized car is about 6 feet in width. Hence, this prevents vehicles from driving through the gaps between the Bollards. This is very important when you are deciding on how far apart bollards should be placed in your parking lot. Bollards installed to control the flow of traffic should be spaced no less than 3 feet apart so that it will meet the accessibility requirements of the ADA or Americans with Disability Act, but not more than 5 feet apart, to block the minimum width of a vehicle.
Are bollards required in every parking lot?
Bollards are not required but are recommended for every parking lot because they help when it comes to preventing accidents in parking lots. Bollard installation is one of the effective steps to take to guarantee safety on your business property.
Depending on your needs, you can install solid bollards, flexible bollards or retractable bollards in your parking lot.

Why Every Business Needs Parking Lot Striping
Parking lot striping is very important for the following reasons:
1. Safety Reasons
Line striping is the way to go if you are looking out for the safety of pedestrians and drivers that pass through your parking area on a daily basis. Parking lot pavement markings direct traffic flow so that stop signs, one-way streets, and other vital safety signs are supported by well-marked pavement signs, helping drivers to maneuver through the lot safely.
Moreover, cars understand how to move through the parking lot correctly when the parking lot lines are well-marked on your pavement. This means less time figuring out a disorganized lot and more time on your business premises.
2. Parking Lot Striping Maximizes Parking Spaces
Clearly marked line stalls on asphalt pavement guarantee that the highest number of trucks and cars can park in the at once. In addition, it prevents the parking lots from being blocked off or becoming jam-packed by unlawfully parked vehicles.
3. Maintains Curb Appeal
The curb appeal of your facility is maintained by a newly striped parking lot. The combination of black pavement and crisp white, with yellow and blue lines, which is mostly used in parking lot markings and parking lot line striping is quite charming.
4. Ensures Proper Access for Handicapped
Handicapped spacing and access is an imperative aspect of line striping. Parking lot striping makes it easier for handicap visitors to navigate in the handicap parking spaces or parking lot and direct visitors to the straightest course to the building. Public facilities and businesses are also required by law to clearly designate handicap spots.
Hire A Professional
When you are installing or repairing line striping in your parking lot, hiring a professional parking lot striping contractor might not look like an essential cost. You may believe that you will save a huge sum of money when you do it all alone. But how tough could it be to stripe your parking lot by yourself?
Sure, you have watched more than a few YouTube videos on how to paint the lines in your parking lot and you are now confident in your abilities. But, the truth is that there are some tasks that need to be left for the professionals, despite the fact that you may the best handyman in the world.

Subscreens allow you to embed one screen within another at runtime. The term subscreen applies both to the screen that you embed, and the area on the main screen in which you place it. This section is about subscreen areas. The actual screens that you embed are called subscreen screens. When you use a subscreen, the flow logic of the embedded screen is also embedded in the flow logic of the main screen. Using subscreens on screens is like using includes in ABAP programs.
Subscreens allow you to expand the content of a screen dynamically at runtime. For example, screen exits, which are part of the enhancement concept, use the subscreen technique. Some complex screen elements, like tabstrip controls , also use them.
To use a subscreen, you must:
Define the subscreen area(s) on a screen
Define suitable subscreen screens
Include the subscreen screen in the subscreen area.
Defining Subscreen Areas
You define subscreen areas using the Screen Painter in the layout of the screen on which you want to embed a subscreen. Each subscreen area on a screen has a unique name, and a position, length, and height. Subscreen areas may not overlap either with each other or with other screen elements. You can also specify whether a subscreen area can be resized vertically or horizontally when the user resizes the window. If the area supports resizing, you can specify a minimum size for it. If the resizing attributes are selected, the PAI event is triggered whenever the user resizes the main screen.
Defining Subscreen Screens
You can create subscreen screens either in the same program or a different program. To create a subscreen screen, enter the screen type Subscreen in the screen attributes. The statically-defined next screen must be the number of the subscreen itself. Choose a size for the screen, making sure that it fits within the subscreen area into which you want to place it. If the subscreen screen is too big for the subscreen area, only the top left-hand corner of it will be displayed.
You create the layout, element list, and flow logic of a subscreen screen in the same way as a normal screen. Subscreens may also include other subscreens. However, the following restrictions apply:
You should arrange the screen elements so that they are not truncated if a subscreen area is too small.
If you want to create several subscreen screens in an ABAP program, you should make sure that the individual screen elements have names unique among the subscreens. If the subscreen screens belong to the same program as the main screen, you should also make sure that names are not used twice there. Otherwise, you must separate data transported from the screen in your ABAP program after each user action (see example).
Subscreens cannot have their own OK_CODE field. Function codes linked to user actions on subscreens are placed in the OK_CODE field of the main screen. This also applies to subscreen screens defined in a different program to the main screen.
The flow logic of a subscreen screen may not contain a MODULE ... AT EXIT-COMMAND statement. Type E functions may only be handled in the main screen.
The flow logic of a subscreen screen may not contain any dialog modules containing the statements SET TITLEBAR , SET PF-STATUS , SET SCREEN , LEAVE SCREEN , or LEAVE TO SCREEN . Any of these statements causes a runtime error. You cannot change the GUI status of a main screen in a subscreen screen.
You can also define selection screens as subscreens .
Including Subscreen Screens
You include a subscreen screen using the CALL SUBSCREEN statement in the flow logic of the main screen.
To include a subscreen screen in the subscreen area of the main screen and call its PBO flow logic, use the following statement in the PBO event of the main screen:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT. ... CALL SUBSCREEN area INCLUDING prog dynp. ...
This statement assigns the subscreen screen with number dynp to the subscreen area called area . With prog you must specify the ABAP program in which the subscreen screen is defined. If it does not find a corresponding subscreen screen, a runtime error occurs. The PBO flow logic of the subscreen screen is also included at the same point. This can call PBO modules of the ABAP program in which the subscreen screen is defined. At the end of the subscreen PBO, the global fields from the program are passed to any identically-named screen fields in the subscreen screen. The PBO flow logic of the subscreen screen can itself include further subscreens.
The name area of the subscreen area must be entered directly without inverted commas. You can specify the names prog and dynp either as literals or variables. If you use variables, you must declare and fill identically-named variables in the ABAP program. The screen number dynp must be 4 characters long. If you do not assign a subscreen screen to an area, it remains empty.
To call the PAI flow logic of the subscreen screen, use the following statement in the PAI flow logic of the main screen:
PROCESS AFTER INPUT. ... CALL SUBSCREEN area. ...
This statement includes the PAI flow logic of the subscreen screen included in the subscreen area area in the PBO event. This can call PAI modules of the ABAP program in which the subscreen screen is defined. Data is transported between identically-named fields in the subscreen screen and the ABAP program either when the PAI event is triggered, or at the corresponding FIELD statements in the PAI flow logic of the subscreen screen.
You cannot place the CALL SUBSCREEN statement between CHAIN and ENDCHAIN or LOOP and ENDLOOP (see Table Controls ). While a subscreen screen is being processed, the system field sy-dynnr contains its screen number. Its contents therefore change when the CALL SUBSCREEN statement occurs and when you return to the main screen.
When you use subscreen screens, remember that the data from their input/output fields is transported to and from the programs in which they are defined. The function codes of user actions on the screen, on the other hand, are always placed in the OK_CODE field of the main screen, and transported into the program in which it is defined. You should therefore name the function codes of your subscreen screens differently from those of the main screen.
If, for encapsulation reasons, you define subscreen screens in other ABAP programs, you must ensure that the required global data of your ABAP programs is transported into the program of the calling screen after you have called their PAI flow logic.
For example, you can define subscreen screens in function groups and pass their global data to and from function module parameters. You must then call the function modules in appropriate dialog modules in the main program to transport the data.
You can also export the global data from the main program as a data cluster to ABAP memory before the PBO of a subscreen screen (see Storage Media for Data Clusters ) and import it into a PBO module of the subscreen.
REPORT demo_dynpro_subscreens. DATA: ok_code TYPE sy-ucomm, save_ok TYPE sy-ucomm. DATA: number1(4) TYPE n VALUE '0110', number2(4) TYPE n VALUE '0130', field(10) TYPE c, field1(10) TYPE c, field2(10) TYPE c. CALL SCREEN 100. MODULE status_100 OUTPUT. SET PF-STATUS 'SCREEN_100'. ENDMODULE. MODULE fill_0110 OUTPUT. field = 'Eingabe 1'(001). ENDMODULE. MODULE fill_0120 OUTPUT. field = field1. ENDMODULE. MODULE fill_0130 OUTPUT. field = 'Eingabe 2'(002). ENDMODULE. MODULE fill_0140 OUTPUT. field = field2. ENDMODULE. MODULE cancel INPUT. LEAVE PROGRAM. ENDMODULE. MODULE save_ok INPUT. save_ok = ok_code. CLEAR ok_code. ENDMODULE. MODULE user_command_0110 INPUT. IF save_ok = 'OK1'. number1 = '0120'. field1 = field. CLEAR field. ENDIF. ENDMODULE. MODULE user_command_0130 INPUT. IF save_ok = 'OK2'. number2 = '0140'. field2 = field. CLEAR field. ENDIF. ENDMODULE. MODULE user_command_100 INPUT. CASE save_ok. WHEN 'SUB1'. number1 = '0110'. WHEN 'SUB2'. number1 = '0120'. CLEAR field1. WHEN 'SUB3'. number2 = '0130'. WHEN 'SUB4'. number2 = '0140'. CLEAR field2. ENDCASE. ENDMODULE.
The next screen (statically defined) for screen 100 is 100. It has the following layout:
There are four pushbuttons with the function codes SUB1 to SUB4, and two subscreen areas area1 and area2 .
In the same ABAP program, there are four subscreen screens 110 to 140. Each of these fits the subscreen area exactly. The layout is:
The input/output field of all four subscreen screens has the name field . The function codes of the pushbuttons on the subscreen screens 110 and 130 are OK1 and OK2 .
The screen flow logic for screen 100 is as follows:
MODULE status_100. CALL SUBSCREEN: area1 INCLUDING sy-repid number1, area2 INCLUDING sy-repid number2. PROCESS AFTER INPUT. MODULE cancel AT EXIT-COMMAND. MODULE save_ok. CALL SUBSCREEN: area1, area2. MODULE user_command_100.
The screen flow logic of subscreen screens 110 and 130 is:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT. MODULE fill_0110|0130. PROCESS AFTER INPUT. MODULE user_command_0110|0130.
The screen flow logic of subscreen screens 120 and 140 is:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT. MODULE fill_0120|0150. PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
When you run the program, a screen appears on which subscreens 110 and 130 are displayed. The pushbuttons on the main screen allow you to choose between two subscreen screens for each screen area. The pushbuttons on the subscreens allow you to transfer the data from subscreens 110 and 130 to subscreens 120 and 140.
Since the same field name field is used on all subscreens, the identically-named ABAP field is transferred more than once in each PBO and PAI event of the main screen. For this reason, the values have to be stored in the auxiliary fields field1 and field2 in the ABAP program.
The pushbuttons on the subscreen screens have different function codes, and they are handled normally in an ABAP field. If the function codes had had the same names, it would again have been necessary to use auxiliary fields.

Hi there!
I recently started to design some recall sheets for hardware I use and that doesn't come with pre-made sheets. As I guess some of you might also be interested in these, I will continually provide new recall sheets as I design them.
Here are the first two for a Stam Audio SA400 as well as a ART Pro Channel (v1):
You can also download the .png files of these designs in order to adapt them to your specific needs:
Stam Audio SA4000 – png
ART Pro Channel – png
If you find these files useful I'd like to encourage you to leave a comment below and help spread the word about this blog.
Thanks and all the best,
