I just get concerned when I hear new investors talking with sparkles in their eyes about how low end real estate investments are going to solve all their problems, when in reality it will add a lot more problems in the short term than it resolves.

As Mike said above, without education, this country is doomed, and if these guys are going to send the message that higher education is a bad thing, they are doing this country a major disservice.Btw, I'm not saying that those who have little formal education and have spent large periods of time in a drug-induced haze can't have intelligent political insights (W and Obama both admitted serious drug use but were able to graduate from prestigious Universities and become President), but the fact that these negative traits are common amongst the most popular of these talk-show personalities draws into question the quality of the group as a whole...

Initially, the land owner tried to flip the land using a prestigious national real estate brokerage that marketed the property with a glossy aerial photograph, a large red line outlining the parcel for sale, a few ground level photographs, zoning information, a list of permitted uses, allowable FAR and the new price - $35 million.

Speaking of lawyers and sadness, my girlfriend just reminded me of a good friend of mine who has a law degree from a good but not prestigious law school here in Chicago, but now sells woman shoes at Macys.
