I am in school at the moment for computers but am having a change of heart when it comes to the world of computers, do to the fact it requires a lot of money and studying for the rest of your life.

I agree with this whole-heartedly!

i was depending on this money from pinnacles when i lost my job. i invested $85K and never took out my returns. my total investment was $177k. my one acct was closed in 10/10, the other two accts in 11/13/06. i believe i would have gotten my money and i would not been placed on this position if it was not for government regulatories. if they still have a caring heart hope they speed up the process and pay us back on time. because we got use to get paid on time so we can pay our bills and not losing our homes that we worked hard for.

lolGlad to see my little words are taken to heart by some of the guru's on the site.The thing I wanted to add to my quote is one word that looms in everyone's vocabulary, that is capable of killing EVERY deal you look at:[size=18][/size][b]COMPROMISE[size=12][/size] In my dealings, the first set of cost numbers I run are usually the highest AND most accurate (not saying they are realistic).Investors, and mostly new investors fall into the Compromise trap.The numbers don't look good, you take another look at what's involved in the deal and search for area's you can cut costs without any real basis for doing so.You say to yourself, "All I have to do to get my profit up is use less expensive materials and do some of the work myself so I will save on labor."

There are some here that say RE investing isn't for everyone and I whole heartedly agree!

it was as if He reached in my chest and rattled my heart and awoke me for the first time in my life.anyhow - to bring it home and shorten this up - i didn't go the SFH rental route.

You pretty much would have to be driving by while the owner is having a heart attack.

Can a massive heart attack cause that type of bleeding?

Looks like the wholesaler has cut the most prime$50k profit out of the heart of the deal for himself.You're the one who will be doing all the work andtaking the most risk.Think about it.

Sometimes people have a good heart, however just be really cautious so you do not get screwed over since you do not really know this persons overall history.
