You never know when some hopped up meth addict will be walking down the street and decide that he needs your money.I carry a Baretta 3032 (32 cal) Tomcat with frangible rounds for added safety in apartment buildings and other close quarters.

as i bought more and more rentals, the properties themselves becamse my doodads...it's an addiction...any time i have extra cash i find a way to buy a property that makes me more money!!

I was an outlook addict, but only for it's email and contact features.However, after three motherboard crashes in a short amount of time, salvaging the outlook data file meant having to take the hard drive out, put it in a case, and then find the outlook file and setup outlook on another computer.After doing that too many times, I moved to gmail as my primary inbox.All my other accounts feed through there.I have now gotten rid of outlook on all my computers.Regrets:* contacts in gmail is a pain.

It is engaging, risky, and challenges you on a variety of levels and think that purpose and drive and sense of accomplishment is an addicting feeling.

After that first deal the adrenalin kicks in and you are then a real estate addict in whichever niche market you selected!

, buying rentals has become an addiction...i love monopoly...congrats again

Mutual funds I have in my 401k have done horrible, I mean unbelievably bad (on the order of maybe a 2% average gain over the past 10 years).Needless to say, I quit adding to my 401k a couple years ago and instead will invest those funds in RE.

The Law suits against Bank of America and Countrywide whom they purchased, with respect to their miss management of their mortgage portfolio may be a bigger concern especially if wikilieaks has information substantiating criminal actions in this regard.I have found Bank of America to be grossly incompetent when it comes to modifications and in my opinion borderline criminal but if their unbelievable lack of concern for their customers turns out to be intentional and criminal they will pay the price. i would not have my money with the Bank of America.

The banks here seem to be massively addicted to groupthink as has been pointed out across many threads.
