So awesome to see so many people electing themselves to be the voice of 80 year old women every where.

And to anyone who insists on pursuing this, never, EVER pay any money up front for ANY service related to this effort.Ah a wonderfully refreshing, new, intelligent voice on BP!

If we work together, we can put out a unified voice.

I remember three years ago I was doing a shower wall in a cold basement and troweling too-stiff tile mortar on the wall, an utter despair of the soul welling up in me, wondering how my life had come to this from what I imagined it would be when I was in college, when my parents celebrated every academic achievement with enormous pride.And I'm a big guy with a long history in DIY, an extensive family history in renovation.

Im just waiting on the rat exterminator to call me back, i left him a voice mail stating I will get someone else to finish the job if he does not respond soon.

@Upen Patel Another voice of reason! 

Our intentions are to house hack in order to keep costs low while we grow our rental portfolio.My problem is, as I listen to these podcasts and read some of the discussions on here about folks starting off while working a 9-5, the voice in the back of my head keeps telling me why wait? 

I would advise @Andy Thao to listen to the voices of experience here.  

High schools in Columbus have a strong sporting as well as academic spirit.  

Also you will always receive influence externally so at times you must block out the noise and listen to the voice within.
