I discovered BP on my maternity leave, and became totally addicted to the podcasts.

Yes Real Estate is addicting if you have the passion.

You'll be addicted soon enough!

AB 109 has completely changed the make up of many small towns here in California, turning them into a mecca for ex cons, drug addicts etc. looking for cheap housing. 

I should probably take the time to learn how to use it especially since it seems to have such an addictive nature.  

I can't really add anything more to what has already been said about the smell, the residue, the discourtesy of hanging out at entrances to buildings, flicking butts out of cars, smoking with kids in the car and the like.My issue with smokers is that they are, in essence, addicts.  

Well, because a lot of wholesalers either don't realize they have to treat wholesaling like an actual business, or they get addicted to the "big" number (gross income) and don't focus on what actually matters (net income).  

I have been addicted to these forums and podcasts as Im trying to soak up as much as I can! 

Look at us, we have a population that is in poor health with every 2nd person presently or soon diabetic, wide spread poverty, a level of crime and gun violence like no other country on earth, we managed to make education FOR-profit leading to massive student debt and universities being richer than small countries, if you travel a bit you can see that our infrastructure is worse than some of the ******** countries we look down on, our health care system is F'd up beyond believe, our food is one of the unhealthiest in the world, we are consuming ressources at a level that nobody can match, we are addicted to buying cheap crap nobody needs, have a dispose everything mentality, meanwhile our population is less happy than most of our peer countries.We just got back from visiting my family in Europe and after we landed at OHare and sat in a dirty, beat up shutte bus getting us to the parking lot over a cracked concrete road, garbage on the side of the road, power lines hanging everywhere, my US born wife shook her head said: I can't believe how run down and ****** everything is here..The US is a fantastic country and I have chosen to live here for a good reason, but we really need to get our head of our you know what and start thinking about where we want to be a few decades. 

I've been listening to the BiggerPockets podcasts and I must say, I'm addicted.
