I paid a nice sum to have it customized because I happened to not be too fond of their out-of-the-box front end.

Thanks Wesley,I see that you are from Plano- I'm actually quite fond of the North Dallas area!

I don't mind the rougher 'hood idea but I'm afraid my wife is not particularly fond of it.Then you'll be fixing the drywall that you destroyed in your own home vs. the drywall that a tenant destroyed in one of your rentals...

I was sitting at my desk one day (at a job I wasnt overly fond of) and began writing out my goals, I don’t remember all of the details but I do remember the major themes of the goals.Goal #1 Own a Harley before I was 30 years oldGoal #2 Have at least $30,000 in the bank before I was 30Goal #3 Make at least $100,000 a year by the time I was 30Goal #4 Own at least 5 investment properties before I was 30Goal #5 Have a fun car by the time I was 30I think I must have been about 29 years old and was working on cleaning out my basement when I discovered my old book of goals.

I echo Ryan on all counts: we're glad you're here, andpraise to Josh for starting such a welcoming and instructive place.I have fond memories of a visit to Indy (well...Carmelactually) a few years back.

@Chris Martin I'm fond of the PEG ratio.

The thing I'm not too fond of that Sam says is that it might be a good deal simply because of the distance being an issue, if you live in CO that is.

One of my partners, Nick Aalerud, is fond of a variation on the Nike motto: his is Shut up and do it!

I doubt the bank would accept anoffer with an assignment clause in it, and in my experience agents aren't fond of them, but I wouldn't be afraid to do it if there isn't much interest in the deal.

I buy every house for cash, I don't mess around with double escrows and unless its a particularly huge sub-division or something like that, its all self funded.There are a couple of things I wil NEVER do during a shortsale:1) Charge an up front fee (or any fee)2) Deed the title of the house into my name or another LLC (unless the circumstances deem it, but I would really rather not get into that publicly, and its only in the interest of the client)3) Lease back a home to someone who is losing it (another predatory Habit that lawyers aren't fond of).
