Moreover, I'm thinking a general discussion on the topic could be a resource for this ever-so-soggy investing community.I have some experience, my previous home was located in oft-flooded Bear Creek neighborhood.

You just have to arrive at that conclusion for yourself.

Why do you draw the conclusion that I have jumped impulsively into this endeavor without any training   simply because I ask a question from a group with more experience?

LOL.but its a million to two million to set up one of their auto wash's I looked at building one.but came to the conclusion if I wanted to do that I had to then go into that business and build multiple stores and be a car wash king.I have seen others do the little self serve ones as hobbies.. but not a passive income play by any means.

So at the conclusion of this year we have 3 very nice single family homes in our real estate portfolio that we own free and clear with awesome tenants.It’s my goal to purchase, renovate and rent out 2 more homes in 2011 with a stretch goal of 3.I wish all of you continued success in the coming year, and my sincere thanks to the BP community for your continued support.

The conclusion that I came away with is that you need to know what you want to do, now, and in the future with your business to be able to get the help you need.

So, it is a natural conclusion that they should find the most expedient way to get these assets off of their hands in the most effective way possible.Does anyone have a link to more information on what, exactly, is being proposed?
