When someone like that knowingly lies for personal or political gain (fear-mongering is a great example), it subverts people's ability to think critically and make important decisions that affect the way they perceive and attempt to mold the world.Sorry, but when millions of people trust you to help guide them on how they view the world, EVEN ONE LIE IS TOO MANY.All that said, of course some blame has to be on those who trust Beck to shape their world view despite his lies; but as we've discussed on many occasions, there are a lot of stupid people in this country, so I wouldn't expect much less.

So, it's safe to say that I watch Fox News on occasion as well...though I don't like it...

On several occasions i've signed closing docs remotely.

depends on the laws in your state. in some states there are laws regarding violent crimes and breaking leases. this doesn't sound like an occasion that would qualify for that.however if you read your lease close enough you'll find clauses about the landlords responsibilities in regards to keeping the place safe and if something else happens again due to the inaction of the landlord you would then have grounds to break.

Originally posted by Jason Tropf:If anyone out there has real first hand experience flipping a single REO themselves, without performing significant repair, and making a descent profit spread, please post, I would love to hear the details.We generally do major remodels (down to the studs), but on occasion we'll do a flip that's literally paint-and-carpet and still make a decent profit.In fact, one of the first projects we ever did, we bought a house, put in under $6500 just to brace a basement wall, and sold it a week later.

Unless/until demand decreases -- as it has on a few occasions during economic downturns -- the property values are likely to stay very high.But, based on the limited supply and increasing demand, I think it would be incorrect to say the values are artificially high; I believe they can remain that high long-term based on the supply conditions.

I have admitted on several occasions that I am wrong about things and feel that it would be quite ridiculous of me to keep arguing when it is clear I am wrong.Do you feel like it is virtuous for people to admit when they are wrong or do you respect people that will argue until they are blue in the face even when the evidence clearly shows this is the case?

When there's a maintenance issue, that's usually a minimum of an hour or 90 minutes to be sure its not something simple and easily fixable (it usually is) and then to get someone out there on the rare occasions when its not.

Since I'm local to Denver, we'll have an event here on occasion, but that's it.

I've gotten over a 20% discount on a number of occasions.
