I wrote to the Wall Street Journal.

Here is a good article that was published in a scientific journal that shows that the earth is NOT warming significantly and in fact have declined since 1998:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/02/a_tale_of_two_thermometers/Having said that, the climate is ALWAYS changing, up and down.

Become a student of design or be ready to pay someone out the yin-yang to do it for you.A hot date for me and my wife is going to Borders, buying a cup of coffee, and reading every home/building/renovating journal on the shelf.

The law went into effect on January 1, 1980.Even the “father of the 401(k),” Ted Benna, tells The Journal with some regret that he “helped open the door for Wall Street to make even more money than they were already making.”

In their last Economic Forecasting Survey, the Wall Street Journal reported the economists surveyed believe the annual unemployment rates will be 6.6% in 2021 and 5.5% in 2022.

I thought I would update my journal today by sharing some photos of the property.

But QB's does all that Journal Entries for you.

Your goal should be that of educating yourself on the local market, becoming very aware of values.Keep a journal of every property you looked at and the dollar amount per SF and keep copious notes on each.Understand this concept: "If you are not embarrassed with your offer, you are offing too much"Make offers only after you are sure you know values and the local market, and make offers that will make you money.Make offers using some of the follow terms and conditions.1. use a study period (to buy times to find an assignee)2. subject to home inspection (so you can use second stage negotiations)3.

A 2008 editorial in The Wall Street Journal comparing job growth in Ohio and Texas stated that from 1998 to 2008, Ohio lost 10,400 jobs, while Texas gained 1,615,000.

Here is a tip that may  work for you ------- THE 50 HOUSE RULE: Make it a project to look 50 houses, with a self pledge NOT TO buy or make an offer on any of them - your objective is to study the market, keep a journal - in it list every property you look at, the square footage, the price per SF, the agents' listing, any comments the agent or the seller makes, keep good notes -After awhile you will discover some very interesting things about this project, 1. you will become aware of values, 2. you will learn how to detect motivation of sellers and agents and 3. this journal will be a valuable asset when you are more aware of the market and you will be able, after you are a little more educated, be able to make intelligent offers that will pay off in equity or cash profits.
