I don't have any career worthy trade skills or college degree, so finding a higher income job is slim pickins for me.

As I stated in many other posts, the climate of this forum now has an extensive degree of real estate professionals taking time out of their busy business lives to literally waste it. 

Yes....apparently @Jonathan Greene and I have 180 degree views on how to get the best BFYB. :-)It can work either way or many other ways to be honest.

I also have my degree in real estate finance from SMU.

Joe, I see what you’re saying to some degree, but it’s hard to fathom that you buy every property you make an offer on.Did you mean that you make an offer on every property that meets your buying criteria and you only look at the property after you get it under contract?

That sure beats months of snow and 0 degree weather you see out east.

My twin brother and I will be graduating with bachelors degrees in finance this December from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater.

To some degree it’s what you value or fear.  

I just had one mark a corner cabinet lazy Susan because it doesn’t turn full 360 degrees even though it’s designed to catch at certain spot.

This while getting his degree from UCSB (so part time entrepreneur).
