I've been reading and researching like a lunatic, I've started building a buyers list, have a list of vacants and occupied potential properties, have two title/escrow companies, approved contracts.

I have spent the better part of the last year trying to find likeminded individuals in the area to help keep me motivated and to have people around who don’t all think I’m a complete lunatic for investing in real estate, especially from a distance.

The lunatics have taken over and are running the asylum. 

A yard without a fenced-in yard increases the odds that the animal won't have enough exercise and activity to not be a raging lunatic in the house.

Having a seller tell me what my CHADS going to be is akin to having the lunatics run the asylum.

A woman from the front of the plane jumps up from her seat and starts screaming like a lunatic.

:D Luckily, the lunatic fringe has always been a very small portion of society, though with the ridiculous mainstream media in this country, you'd think otherwise...

As an aside, a few years back I lived in an apartment building in a very nice area but there was a lunatic on the floor above me.

If you want to stereotype, violence by Liberals tends to be petty and rudimentary (fist fights and throwing rocks at protests), while violence by Conservatives tends to be more along the lines of terrorism (Tim McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, The Unabomber, etc).Personally, the drunk liberal idiots who throw bottles don't bother me as much as the lunatic conservative terrorists who plot the mass deaths of those they feel have wronged them...But that's just me...

:Furthermore, in their sprint to self identify and be offendedNo need to self identify Tim...Vikram and other left-wing lunatics have already been called out by the radicals on other threads.
