The rate is predicted to hover around the 3% for 2020, & as long lenders flex their muscle a bit, we'll be o.k.

Hi,  I would like to ask your opinion about this: i have an industrial property and there are 2 renters who are working in a very close branch, and i see some tension between them.

The reasons cited by most people for getting our of the USA are: oppressive Federal legislation, a lack of morality in government, a lack of privacy, racial tensions, bad schools, and usurious taxation.Just thought this would be a good read for everyone....Charles

I like to start my "pitch" by letting them know that I am an investor and just got done watching a carlton sheets infomercial last night at 2 AM and wanted to buy there pending property for zero down and get cash back at closing.Once the tension gets really thick I then tell them I am totally kidding (which they are relieved about and are now smiling most of the time) I then go on to tell them my criteria (which is very specific) and that it looks like I just missed out on the deal they have that is pending and am wondering if there is any chance it may fall out.At first they tell me it's solid until I let them know that I ALWAYS buy through whomever tells me about a deal first and sell from that same person usually within 30 days me buying and rehabing it.I follow up with a template email letting them know my criteria and a link to my website (to hopefully establish some credibility) and then follow up on a regular basis to see if 1) if the deal I originally called about fell out 2) if they have anything new coming to market, any price reductions or know of any other agents that have good deals.This leads me to my buyers agent (wow that was a long winded way to get to the actual subject eh?).

As for preferred stocks, I am cautious there as well as I wouldn't be surprised to see Uncle Sam exercise his muscle and step in to tell banks that they CANNOT pay common OR preferred dividends.

I love 60's muscle cars and would rather have a muscle car than a Lambo.

I think it will profit those with enough financial muscle to withstand the gestation period of the investment.....I really will not want to wake up in 2018-2020 with regrets...why didn't I but when it was 2015!!!!

Deadlines are intentionally and artificially compressed to create tension and drama.

I like the muscle cars from the late 60's and early 70's.Had an all original '69 Mustang Mach 1, R-Code (that's designates the 428 Cobra Jet engine with Ram Air) that I sold a couple years ago to a man in Australia.

My first “das auto” were 68,69,72, Chevelle SS’s acquired in the early 80’s and divested in the 90’s...currently own 3 honda accords all purchased used, the oldest is my reliable ol’ beater airport car with over 400,000 miles on her and still running “nominal”, my daily driver is a 2012 which was 2 years old w 30,000 miles on it when purchased for 50% of it’s original sticker $...My W2 income comes from being a “airborne truck driver” 😉 and additional income is from passive investments...In hindsight should have kept the muscle cars for a longer time frame then sell 2 and keep one for fun and pass it on to a family member after I’m dead and bloated...will keep the  hondas for many years to come, and then when the technology is there will pull the trigger on a ev self driver and let “jorge” do most of the driving...advice—-> “Keep your day job, mind your business” and if having a “nice” car is deemed beneficial to such...well then, I think a Tesla would be a good fit.
