Being from the Midwest and from a long generation of family farmers, and currently own a 2000 acres farm in the Midwest, I think I that the the use of ethanol is not a big problemIn regards to the energy yield from corn, it is lower than some other crops, such as sugar beets and sugar cane, but the percentage of land in the USA that can grow corn vs. the percentage of land suitable for growing sugar is vastly different.

I have never sold a home before that would be suitable for investment purposes, so I appreciate all the feedback.

None came to even visit or call in Jan :)As with any rental in a high renter area, they want the nicest on the block if they have plenty to choose from.

Also, what problems are you having finding a suitable place?

its gotten ridiculous running from home depot and occasionally lowes multiple times a day with my little sedan, especially when i need loads of drywall and pallets upon pallets of heavy ceramic tile.having spent virtually all my capital on the house and now the rest in materials, would be lucky to scratch up a few thousand to finally invest in the much needed pickup i've decided i really need to complete this job, before i go bankrupt. credit/auto loan aint an option cuz i recently maxed out my cards and have been settling them for less than full once they go to collections. i could not bring my truck with me from nyc months ago when i moved to the west coast and left it with my parents for them to use or sell. they sold it.what are some recommendations for a good used pickup truck suitable for a DIY flipper as well as a landscaper in socal. i've also turned down enuf landscape jobs already cuz i dont have a truck these days.help!

In Cincinati, there are opportunities to acquire existing buildings for under $15K, suitable for re-hab into three, four or five apartments.

You should be able to find some suitable leases through real estate associations.

Any recommendations on cities or areas that attract visitors?
