You should look into using eQRP which is a company that gets you the checkbook control of your retirement funds you're looking for to buy real estate, but their patented process allows you to avoid UBIT Taxes which will save you thousands compared to an SD-IRA.

I wouldn't have hired him for a patent dispute.

Illegals don't have a patent on hard work and there are plenty of Americans that would do the work they do if they were paid more for doing so.The same can be said for engineers competing with Indians willing to work for 30 percent of what they do.

Every thread is immediately taken to its illogical extreme and non-cultists get labeled as "liberals" when it is patently obviously to any rational observer that 90% of their posts favor very right-wing policies.

If you try to replicate it, it will take money (both money spent and lost revenue from not having the IP) and you may run into patents that limit your ability to replicate the IP.

I suppose the argument can be made that if you are upfront with the cost before the tenant moves in, it is at least transparent, but unless your utilities are billed at a flat rate from the provider it seems patently unfair to charge a single individual the same amount of money as a family. 

Plus I've met a new friend who was one of the first to patent paper napkins (yes, paper napkins).  

But that said, SEO is NOT a scam, and IF you follow the guidelines and understand the Google patent/algorithm, you can actually win the battle for leads.

I know way to much on this topic, owned one of the top 3 keyword research websites back in the day, and wrote and sold a few patents on reverse engineering googles ranking  algorithms, and a lot more.The bottom line is SEO is a continues process, there is no one hit process as the target is always moving.For those who want to keep up with things, check out SEOMoz blog, Search Engine Land, and Webmaster World.SEO is something you have to live eat and breath if you really want to be good at it.

@Hoa Nguyen I wanted to address this as I see this mentioned a lot on BP, and it is patently false and a dangerous idea that keeps spreading.
