I'm using windows 7 and all my important data is on my USB drive.

I've got a contractor busting his hump to get a restaurant ready for me.

This move would be much more about us being near family than a pure investment.

If you live your life depriving yourself of the things (toys) that bring joy or fun to your life and concentrate on simply accumulating wealth, you may reach a point where you're near the end, have a RE empire and never really stopped to enjoy yourself along the way.I spent many years busting my hump trying to make as much money as I could and guess what...it was NEVER enough.Throw the motorcycles and 4 wheelers in the toy hauler, hook the ski boat to the F250, and captain that Carver down the ICW until the water turns blue!

Why couldn't the US be the next Japan? 

We have been watching it over the last couple months...the rain is a real downer and a definite concern for us being from CA.

Yes, our frugal habits will help us be successful, but in the time being, I don't want to be a penny pinching, non social tight wad, where I cry looking at my bank statements when I spend just a little too much on groceries.

Us b so stoopid we aint no no better.And this might surprise PMs, but you don't have access to any special data on pricing.

Happy Hump Day!

But he is simply a laborer and not a contractor and is using the $1m+ budgets for the churches as his basis.The wife and I plan to buy our first rental after the first of the year when we have enough retained cash to buy a unit ($10k).This doesn't seem like a good starter project for us,being inexperienced in the business.Any direction?
