thanks Crystal.

Quote from @Crystal Smith: Quote from @Andrea Vallejo: I am a realtor in Chicago and have been doing research on wholesaling.

Make it crystal clear..... tape only.Unfortunatly marking the edge is not going to solve their problem.

In this example the contractors obvious racism would not likely have a negative impact on my business leaving me to select based on all other factors.If I did however hire him I would be having a discussion in advance regarding his attituded make it crystal clear, on the personal side, that  he is to keep his opinions to himself on my property if he expected to be paid.

No one has a crystal ball, and I do not want to pass judgment on a politically tinged subject where economic views diverge, but the fact is that the dollar went off the gold standard in the early 1970s.

I'm not sure what crystal ball you have that tells you what the appreciation rate is going to be.

@Crystal Smith's point about there not being comps for when you go to sell is a good one to heed.

I have been reading the KRS statutes diligently but somethings are still not crystal clear - that is why i want to get some hands on experience in this coming year 2011.

Maybe selling some that have the least possibility of a good return could be sold and help the other properties.No one has a crystal ball and many think great times are going to continue for Investors.

Bill Gulley You are my crystal ball that tells me were to be cautious.
