Appreciate the recommendations.When I get to the office pc tonight, with the money I saved, Ill upgrade my account to Pro status.

hey Christopher - I don't have much advice on this one (I have a terrible imagination) - but I'll give you a helpful BP hint:you can post images in the forums by using this code: [ img= URL HERE ] (without all the spaces)You have to use the actual image html though, which you can get by right-clicking on the picture and selecting "Copy Image URL" (on a mac, anyways. not sure about PC)Like this:Hope that helps spark some more thoughts on this!

I went to my local library, which is connected with a dozen other libraries in the region, and over the course of a year I read every book on Real Estate they had - at least a hundred.

I tried that same link but I think it is only for PC.

Is it for PC or Mac?

I use visio (PC) or omni graffle (mac) for 2D drawings.

If the OP is as lucky as I was, it will be in his local free library :)

UofC is growing in ways the public has no clue and is amassing land left and right secretly, Obama's library will end up down there, and the push to connect the South Loop with Hyde Park by the city has lots of momentum not to mention it is affordable and has a lot of room to go up and still be affordable compared to the North Side.

The PC Magazine website has written many articles on the subject.

now...that's only a start - after that - goto your local library and take out "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" kiyosaki"Real Estate Riches" Deroos"Building Wealth One house at a time" -in that order.
