Had to share for the laughs - Truth in Advertising

Spent a couple weeks down in Tampa/St. Pete looking through a bunch of properties and had to laugh when this showed up on my screen:

It pretty well summed up how I was feeling about most of the "deals" I'd seen up to that point. "Wholesale" deals that are actually $10K added on to the price I could currently buy it on the HUD Homestore. Agents too busy to call you back (and that was a $300K property he had listed, not some $30K dog he didn't want to mess with). Auction.com and the County both pulling properties from sale before they finalized. Things eventually picked up and a few good things look to be working out so not a total waste.

Plus a great new screensaver to remind me to doublecheck everything I think I have learned before I get ahead of myself and buy an Income Reducing Property. :)
