Good thoughts Dion.While our OP was asking a good question about seeking information, you were right, many don't put enough effort in to asking a question and the answer has usually already been given here on BP.Dion, Aside from that, I have always been interested in performing brain surgery, I understand there is some really good money in being a surgeon, where should I start without using my money?

Better might be something that pays the bills but exposes you to RE (construction, office work for a company in the field).At some level assume that a sales job might be great training for life but a real negative for credit.

Asking about the different types of REI there are is like asking someone in the medical field about all the different types of specialists there are out there.There are heart doctors, heart surgeons, feet doctors, eye docs, ENT, radiology, neuro, blood, trauma, pediatricians, etc...See what I mean.

I am living in Augusta Georgia right now doing an internship with Balfour Beatty Construction working on a $68 million hospital reconstruction and addition.

I've discarded the spreadsheet I used for your calculations, but you should be able to reconstruct it.

The doctor, the financier, and the furniture company representative disappear, and you are now out anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000.One of my students on the West coast was recently contacted via e:mail by a London-based surgeon who was interested in his property.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that they will continue to work another century or two.Great post Mike - hopefully one or two will listen.Tim

Mechanical repairs IE Roofs, re-construction, electrical, Plumbing, ETC.3.

What would you get rid of first to before the reconstruction took place.

Lots of individual residential and several small subdivisions, retail, plus a good mix of dorky engineering stuff for street reconstructions, forensic studies, etc.
