Resolved Question: Did I paraphrase correctly? If your an english teacher/professor or just really good at writing please help??!?
Ok I am doing a research paper and I would like to know if the paragraphs I fixed if they are paraphrase enough. Also should I change anything or take anything out? Thanks.

Original information same as on website:

Starbucks Corporation is a worldwide coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, Washington. Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world, with 15,012 stores in 44 countries. Starbucks sells drip brewed coffee; espresso based hot drinks, other hot and cold drinks, snacks, and items such as mugs and coffee beans. Through the Starbucks Entertainment division and Hear Music brand, the company also markets books, music, and film. Many of the company’s products are seasonal or particular to the devotion of the store. Starbucks brand ice cream and coffees are also sold at grocery stores.

In the 1990s, Starbucks was opening a new store every workday, a speed that was persistent into late of the year 2000. Domestic growth has since slowed, although the company continues to expand in foreign markets and will open a net of 900 new stores outside of the U.S in 2009. The first location outside the United States and Canada was established in the 1990s, and they now make up one third of Starbucks’ stores.

By late March 2008, Starbucks had more than 16,226 stores worldwide, including 11,434 stores located in the United States. On July, 1, 2008, the company announced it was closing 600 under performing company owned stores and cutting U.S expansion plans among growing economic uncertainty. On July 29, 2008, Starbucks also cut almost 1,000 non retail jobs as part of its bid to re energize the brand and enhance its profit. Of the new cuts, 550 of the positions are layoffs and the rest are unfilled jobs. These closings and layoffs have effectively ended the company’s period of abundant growth and expansion that began in the mid 1990s.

The original Starbucks was opened in Pike, Place Market in Seattle, Washington in 1971 by three partners: English teacher Jerry Baldwin, history teacher Zev Siegel, and writer Gordon Bowker. The original Starbucks location was at 2000 Western Avenue from 1971-1976. That store then moved to 1912 Pike Place as of today it is still open.

Entrepreneur Howard Schultz joined the company in 1983, and after a trip to Milan, Italy, advised that the company sell coffee and espresso drinks as well as beans. The owners rejected this idea, believing that getting into the beverage business would distract the company from its most important focus. To them, coffee was something to be prepared in the home. In 1987, Starbucks opened its first locations outside Seattle at Waterfront Station in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Chicago, Illinois, that same year. At the same time of its initial public offering on the stock market in 1992, Starbucks had grown to 165 outlets.

The first Starbucks location outside of North America opened in Tokyo in 1996. Starbucks entered the U.K. market in 1998 with the achievement of the then 60-outlet, UK-based Seattle Coffee Company, re-branding all its stores as Starbucks. By November 2005, London had more outlets than Manhattan, a sign of Starbucks becoming an international brand. In 1999, Starbucks experimented with eateries in the San Francisco Bay area through a restaurant chain called Circadia. These restaurants were soon turned into Starbucks establishments.

In April 2003, Starbucks completed the purchase of Seattle’s Best Coffee and Torrefazione Italia from AFC Enterprises, bringing the total number of Starbucks operated locations worldwide to more than 6,400. On September 14, 2006, competitor Diedrich Coffee announced that it would sell most of its company owned retail stores to Starbucks. This sale includes the company owned locations of the Oregon based Coffee People chain. Starbucks has changed the Diedrich Coffee and Coffee People locations to Starbucks as of summer 2007, although the Portland airport Coffee People locations were excluded from the sale. Starbucks’ chairman, Howard Schultz, has talked about making sure growth does not weaken the company’s traditions and the common goal of the company’s leadership to act like a small company.
In January 2008, Chairman Howard Schultz resumed his roles as President and Chief Executive Officer after an eight year hiatus, and replaced Jim Donald, who took those posts in 2005 but decided to leave the company in late 2007. Schultz’s main challenge is to restore what he calls the “distinctive Starbucks experience” in the face of rapid expansion. analyst believe that Schultz must determine how to contend with higher materials prices and enhanced competition from lower-price fast food chains, including McDonald’s and Dunkin’ Donuts.
Dunkin’ Donuts is an international donut and coffee retailer founded in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts by William Rosenberg. In 1946, William Rosenberg founded Industrial Luncheon Services as a company to deliver meals and coffee break snacks to customers in
Ok since it didnt all show up go to my other question similar to this its shorter.

Resolved Question: credit is terrible!!! fico 500, and you are sitting on a property with substantial equity, how do you borrow?
I have a property. I am a real estate investor. I also am a house flipper. I got in over my head this last year. Properties that had $100k equity now properties are worth $100k less. One property is inelastically demanded and is worth twice what I owe. My credit was close to spotless until the market turned. Now credit is terrible, only over last 6 months. The one property that I have left I am completing the remodel on it and will be done shortly. Presently am cash poor, but have alot of equity and this one property everyone wants. Will move very fast if I put it up for sale. Prefer to keep it, but credit is messed up. Do not want to get a loan that is not favorable. Would prefer to do a complete remodel on interior of property. Summertime, being property is waterfront and beach… will be improved would be a better time to move it. However due to properties uniqueness, would enjoy keeping and making it into dream home. How do I get financed at a good rate and get money out to remodel
