Michael, please read the post before you run your mouth.

If you got not actual input except to hide behind your avatar and point the finger at real people who are trying to better their lives as best they can then keep your fingers off the keyboard (shut your mouth).

I'm sure the market collapse left a bad taste in your mouth as well.

Having a stock pile of cash shows investors you can put money where your mouth is. 

For the last couple months, all I've see you doing is sitting out there in Oregon with B'class rentals all airily advocating for tenants from afar like butter couldn't melt in your mouth.

Going too big in the beginning can stump your career and leave a bad taste in your mouth. 

Would it be so crazy to just keep your mouth shut and not submit anything to uncle sam.

The art of buying houses comes down to solving a problem, you can find that problem if your mouth is moving.

Lastly, you'll happily put your money where your mouth is instead of just insisting others be taxed, right? 

@Jacob Phillips, I think the quote is the other way around, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
