It's clearly a piece of cake to get rich flipping houses :)

If # 1 seed in west, games will be in Denver first round and Anaheim in second- like HOME games for BYU.

The fact that I can drive it all over town and take road trips for pennies compared to ICE vehicles is icing on the cake.

It's a piece of cake.

We are wanting to put a truck stop, drop lot, and truck wash for starters,(phase1)Then reach out restaurant vendors, like red lobster, smoking bones, Bahama Breeze, Cheese cake factor and so on.

You can't have your cake and eat it too!

At walk through, fan blades were all caked with dirt, cobwebs and dustbunnies abound, hardwood and tile floors hadn't been swept or mopped, countertops not wiped, exterior of kitchen appliances not cleaned, stove top still semi dirty (stove was brand new a year and a half ago but she claims "it wouldn't wipe off"), kitchen sink with soap debris on it, food stains splattered on kitchen backsplash and baseboards, bathtub not cleaned, closet floors/shelves/blinds/windows not wiped down, and my favorite - remains of a carcass of a hawk (feathers and...?)

It is my opinion that you can’t have your cake and eat it too.  

Your returns are amplified by leverage, a good location beats inflation in a growing area and depreciating on taxes and never selling is icing on the cake (although your property WILL depreciate).
