I personally HATE any windows based laptops/computers.

So maybe I’m not qualified to answer the question of whether successful people participate in forums such as this because I’m not successful.Heck, I’ve only bought $300 million or so worth of real estate, and here is the view from my office as I write this:Sitting in this very spot over the last two weeks with my laptop, iPad and cell phone my team has toured over a dozen multifamily properties.

Nor could I have quit my job to start my CPA business, working from the comfort of my home (or wherever I have my laptop and an Internet connection).I don't say this to brag, but to point out that early on in life the most important thing you can do to someday have the life you want to have is to 1) gain skills and 2) make and invest as much money as you can.  

They need to walk into an apartment that is fully furnished and equipped with all their needs other than a laptop and clothes. 

I had everything on my laptop, and also emailed stuff to myself before the cloud was an option, in case the laptop died or paperwork burned up.  

I can't even begin to compete with tales of a self-flagellating, cross-toting tenant.

Drug addicts go from being homeless street urchins to tee totaling Bible thumpers who scold people for having an occasional beer.  

It works fine sometimes--right now, in fact, but then the keystrokes in the reply windows start bogging down which tells me it is likely talking to your servers as I am typing, and it can slow to a crawl--so much so that I have to give up and close the browser.This happens on three different laptops.  

They provided the laptop and I just logged into the Real Estate Express website, took the test, passed, and then the proctor was required to enter their contact information (including their official work email address) to verify that the test was, in fact, proctored.After passing the proctored final course exam, you then want to start prepping for the state licensing exam. 

My lap top stays here on this desk.
