 Hi Keeya. Would you mind sharing an update please? Wishing you the best of luck!

 Hi Peter. Google brought this one post up when I was searching for real estate investor friendly CPAs in OC. Would you mind dropping the name of that CPA if you would still recommend them? Thank you!

I just looked at the OC Invest Club for Women and it seems their meetings are on the 3rd Wed of the month. That means the last meeting was on the 16th.

However, I see the OC Investors Club is having a meeting this Friday at 11:30 AM.

I'm not a big user of FB, but I understand it's position in the market. "Liked."

Hi Josh,

Your jump to categories menu group on the right has a bug.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Click any blue category. It expands.

2) Click the same category. It closes.

3) Click it one more time. It snaps open then closes automatically, thus making the menu category inaccessible.

What's the use case you may ask? Well I might choose a category, but want to collapse it after glancing at the contents. If I get interrupted and come back without navigating or refreshing the page, I'm now programmatically locked out of that category.

Yes. I moved at the end of September.

That's good to hear Adrian. I work from home as well as a software developer, well only 3 days out of the week. The other two days I make a trek out to San Bernardino :roll: . I have been networking via email and phone with various people here on BP, but have yet to check out a REI Club. I'm pretty settled now so I'll need to get on the ball here soon.

Thanks for the information Jeff. I'm not sure being consumed for 24/7 would work with my day job, but the more I hear about this club the more I'm interested in attending. You guys sure know how to sell the hype ;) . I'll bet my wife would be interested in attending as well. It'll be a good lesson in networking for us both.

One way to regularly use the card in a disciplined fashion is to designate it as a "Gas only or Groceries only" card. That way it gets used, but not on stuff decided on a whim.

Good luck!

People are going to great length these days to find a mentor in the RE business. ;)

In all seriousness, it's good to hear that he received his day in court. That's an interesting punishment that you worked out there and hopefully you both get something out of it. He'll learn something about hard work and maybe you can teach him a thing or two.

I wish you luck with that and hope it doesn't backfire by allowing the kid to spend even more time on your properties. :)

Hi Emily,

As someone with no credit your best option is a secured card with your current major bank. My wife had to do this several years ago when we agreed to start building credit after college (you should really start younger than that). B of A offered her only a secured card and so she put $500 in their account and took it. After 1 year they refunded her $500 and made it an unsecured card. She now has an excellent credit score some years later.

In a nutshell, if a secured card is the only thing available, grab it. Consider it an investment in your future. Of course, stay in the habit of paying the balance in full monthly and don't give in to buying consumer items you can't afford to pay with cash.

Also, I'd stay away from department store cards as time and time again different "experts" have said that creditors can frown upon that.
