It is soooo cold here, and there's a layer of ice over everything!!!

Believe it or not, this had some great results because the people that called saw the humor in it and it was an ice breaker :)

The icing is that the course is free, he sends steps to  do to your inbox every week.

I personally don't include those and consider them icing on the cake.

In addition to the snow, we received about 36hrs of freezing rain on he 22nd & 23rd which put a 1/2" layer of ice on the snow that was already down.

@Craig Hanlon  depends on the asset and were it is.. many assets that are buy and hold will appraise or comp for higher than you pay for them giving the illusion of instant equity.. the issue is you will generally never be able to sell and capture that equity... its phantom.But if you buy 30% below market of todays ARV in say Vegas or SF or Manhantan or even my little portlandia then your equity is real and can be captured. and in my mind 6% would be great.. but not if your buying in one of the areas were all you hear is appreciation is icing on the cake those areas generally never move in value.. so you need higher cash flow to substantiate the purchase or the reason to invest there in the first place.

(had to use an alarm)Moved rents from the rental accounts to the main checking.Negotiated and wholesaled a house for a fellow newbie BPer.Put one of my vacant rental homes up for sale.Got denied a refinance - no surprise, I mean with a 770 fico and tons of equity, I'm a real credit risk unlike these financial imbeciles with 3.5% down and a foreclosure on the record 3 years ago.Went to the dojo and punched a bunch of people in the face.Hung out on BP.In the words of Ice Cube, "It was a good day."

I'll say too, that a money guy who never really gets involved, just writes a check and shows up is not the entrepreneur of the deal, thier assessment of the deal is as a lender, covering thier interests, don't count that function twice as underwriting the money and the overall success of the project, that's like selling the ice cream and then charging for keeping it frozen.And, in all fairness, I'd say that any profits remaing, unassigned by function, would be split 50/50, the value of being together in a partnership, might say the cost of putting up with each other!

Some ideas in my head are - Clothing, Jewelry, Stationary, Organic Foods, Global ethnic products to sell locally, Outdoor Sports, Coffee shop, Yogurt or Ice Cream Shop.I was thinking I could visit some of the local colleges and just market that I have the space for the right person/ biz plan.

I love to watch and play all sports, big into hockey (go Sabres!)
