This is a new world for me but I'm learning truckloads and I'm swimming in my cup of tea!

Not my cup of tea. 8)

Given the range the value of specific titles will vary.I would spend money of coffee/tea at a large bookstore and just read for free.

Not my cup of tea, but figured you guys might know.

Perhaps we can meet for coffee/tea.

Things I like to do/work on, may not be someone else's cup of tea.

I don't mind paying tax at all, but a gross receipts tax is an outrage  ... actually, I think Americans complained about that once, something about a tea party.

Sounds to me like single tenant net leased properties would be your cup of tea (STNL).

I also read the tea leaves of "guess which neighborhood will become hip and gentrified" very well. 

. - Yeah both of our flips (our first and our current) have been through courthouse auctions.The advantage to them is that its a limited crowd unlike the online auction sites, so you can get some deals (we had around a 100k profit on our first deal) but the disadvantages are (1) most auctions are fruitless so you waste a lot of time going for nothing, and (2) you dont get to see inside the property before the auction - so there can be some ugly surprises.Depending on your market and the competitiveness it may or may not be your cup of tea
