Hey Gene, I would consider that normal wear and tear for sure.

My point is to teach yourself all the essentials that they are not going to teach you in Gen ed or College.Im not saying college is not great for your personal growth, but there are plenty of successful wealthy people in Real Estate that never finished college because what they teach is not necessarily beneficial to your GROWTH.Lastly im going to close it out on the fact that, no matter how educated you get never get ahead of yourself, never act like you know it all.

It probably has something to do with all of those big fat dedcutions you get to take ;)

Do we keep this up as a big fat warning of what they need to look for?

For example, in my opinion, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and trans fats probably have a much greater health risk (both short-term and long-term) than marijuana.

Thanks @Gene Hacker .

Two problems with real estate:1) You can't move it to someplace better.2) It's a big fat target for governments in search of tax increases.
