The greatest lose in life, is life itself.  It's like saying if only the sharks weren't eating surfers in OZ.  40,000 people a year die in car accidents.  It's the nature of how it happened and the news always loves to blow these stories up.  It's sad and tragic, please be careful how you throw that around.  The states is far safer than Mexi…[Read more]

Just do your homework and you will be fine.  This investor was a novice at best.

All that radiation fall out bothers me.

If you can pay off in five years, sounds pretty solid to me.  I like to play a game to see how fast i can get my beginning cap back and five years is always nice.  Is there no option to pull equity out of your other houses? 

I feel the same way, like your being punished for over achieving.  One of the reasons i don't take section 8

@ AlexThings are good, just wish i had more liquid to buy up every deal i saw, ha!  How are things in the Carolina's?Is this the event you are talking about?http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3677928784@ JayExactly why i keep the my handyman on staff, your only as good as the people you have working for you.

Can still be bought for that price on the gulf side, don't know about Atlantic.

Prefer Ocean, but if the canal takes you out to the gulf that's just as valuable. 

Lets keep the pressure on Atlanta and keep those prices rising… The US companies are doing it in a big way now.Fine by me, i like not having competition in the markets i invest in. 

Why would this be a good deal?  I agree it looks nice, but i'm not keen on ATLWhy would it be a bad deal? Just to much for it, for that type of money you could get something in Florida on the water, way more room for appreciation.What is good about the area?What is bad about it?Any other discussion points where you can show off your knowledge ?  I…[Read more]

Just back from mandatory 24 hour beach trip…. God that ocean and white white sand of the Gulf makes up for slogging it ATL style..!When i used to live in Florida, would see my neighbor on the way to work and the normal greeting would be.  How are you today?  Normal reply was, another day in paradise.  Yes it was, how i miss it…  Can't bea…[Read more]

Met with the big wigs from the main Charlotte meeting they are charging $3k a person – 10 people at a time and giving them 24 hrs worth of know how. Then helping them from A _ Z with the deals and getting 50 % of the profit.All i can say is WOW

I have a handyman on staff and a contractor is somebody i use when i'm stretched thin and don't have any other options, lol

http://www.habitat.org/restores/default.aspxthis is a great option i use for my rentals, i like to be as green as much as possible.  

@ Alex,You letting the young guys get you with the neck cranks?

lol, a neck brace?

Really got me thinking, land, have utilities put in and pick them up on an average of 10,000.  Hmmm… haven't thought of what the cost is to move a mobile home though. 

There are better places to invest

I have a USAA account where i can deposit checks at the UPS store with my debit card, no limit on size of yet.  I just deposited one for 25,000 from a sale the other day.  Posted to my account as soon as it was done.  You have to shop for a better community bank that will value you as a customer.  I agree with Jay, that sounds like banking hell

I was confused, I'm on the up and up, on what she meant now.Looked at one the other day for 1,500 dollars, lot fees killed any chance of cash flow.
