Well, one of LA’s most enduring conspiracy theories is that an alliance of companies pushing an “auto-centric future” for Los Angeles schemed to bring down its sprawling rail network.

Someone who has never endured the suck doesn't have the work ethic.  

Zombie-companies — Macy’s, Boeing, Exxon Mobile, Delta Airlines — decay in record numbers while enduring a slow, gruesome death.

You loan paper out that has similar income to the $40k negative they are enduring.

Aside from the general enduring explosive situation in the Middle East, Qatar has been the victim of an economic embargo imposed by its own former allies from the Gulf.I'm left wondering whether it's worth investing in a place with all these risks, where I don't get equal legal with the locals under the law and all this to make a return of maximum 8 to 15%.The tax advantages sound great but they are of little benefit to US citizens and residents and to residents of most countries, given that they have to pay taxes on their worldwide income regardless of the tax laws in Qatar.

GREATEST FAILURE YOU ENDURED?

@Larrian DavisDepends on what your definition of terrible is :)I’m an US military veteran as well, with campaign medals, so have endured some suck.

A total of 11,673 U.S. properties endured foreclosure filings — including default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — in October, a 20 percent increase from September, but still down 79 percent from a year ago, according to a report released Tuesday by Attom Data Solutions.Nationwide, one in every 11,683 housing units had a foreclosure filing in October 2020.

I understand that ill need to put in more effort and endure more risk to get the first right of refusal because ill need to find someone who is in growth mode and probably means less experience.On the note of specifying criteria, I have that; 1500 sq ft or under, single story, at least 3 bedrooms, 10k sqft lot or under nothing built before 1960, etc.

Throughout the 10-15 minutes I had to endure, here are the assumptions he made:I’m not a real estate agent (I am)I have no idea what comps are (I do) I don’t know the area I’m buying the house in (I do)I had no idea what criteria to look for in a fix and hold property (I know exactly what I’m looking for and found this driving for dollars)I hadn’t done my due diligence on the property or what it would take to fix it (I have) I didn’t understand what ARV is (I do) I haven’t already determined with a contractor approximately how much it will take to repair the house I’m purchasing (I have) Since I’m clearly uninformed (because I’m a woman?)
