The melting pot of stories, failures, successes, losses, chances, lost jobs, the ways people got into real estate, the teamwork of spouses and family, the education, the no education and jumping in, with money, no money, operating locally, across all states, marketing, strategies, taxes, property managers, rental properties, duplex, tenants, landlords, GCs, so many variables. 

After going by the property today, I was surprised that it looked different once the snow had melted away.

However I don't think that will lead to a full on melt-down.  

High vacancy rate- The bldg may still be recovering from the real estate melt down & vacancy is high.   

The most important thing to consider is the the second you get your first message from a prospective guest all of your stress and anxiety will melt away.

To make a long story short, this imbecile of a plumber melted my acrylic tub with his soldering gun, after specifically being told to cover it and being provided with a large piece of cardboard.

@Jay Hinrichs, you may wanna tell USDA and the VA admin. about your feeling of "NO ONE deserves a 100% loan" as they haven't gotten the memo and have not stopped offering 100% loans, even thru melt down and are doing just fine right?  

Hey Mike --Would you be willing to share how you are buying gold at 90% of melt?

Ice caps and glaciers melting.

I started exercising as often as possible and also cut down on a lot of high calorie stuff.
