Chip in and subsidize part of the electric (and heat come winter?)

Even the minor chips from corner sheetrock. 

They're happy to accept my cash (chip-and-PIN debit card, which means the cash exists and is not counterfeit) in exchange for whatever it is I want to buy.P.S., In 2004, Dr.

Using @Joe Splitrock's analogy of high stakes poker, all that's required to play is a big stack of chips and it doesn't matter where it came from.

When the property went off the market a month or two later I found out who owned it, eventually got in contact with the owner and bought it without us using agents (no 6% = a great bargaining chip for a lower sale price). 

Hey all, Just wanted to chip in from Quebec, over here the market definetly seems cheaper than Vancouver or the prairies. 

Or, I look at the overall robust economy, the relatively strong housing market, and wonder if I'm entering at a bad time - but then realize that when/if things crash, that'll be another round of changes that provides for opportunity.Opportunity is born from change, and at 42, I'm old enough to know that the secret to doing something is to just get started, and to keep chipping away at it.Anyway, my short term goal, once I have finished doing enough research and working on getting the overall engine in place, is to get a couple deals under my belt, and get an idea of what pieces of my process needs refinement in order to scale up a bit.

Let the chips fall where they may.

I do not recommend patch of land, after having the report for a week they requested and engineers report the day before closing because the pain on the exterior was chipped. 

We are still collecting chips rolls after rolls of dice in a red hot casino crap table.
