Schumberger has already laid off 9000 people and the number of active rigs has declined 22% in the last couple of months.

Im just hoping that after I get some properties rolling good, I can buy a couple trucks and trailers cash and get a couple drivers. start local with logs/grains and if I come across a good freight broker for hire, maybe buy a couple of coast to coast rigs and expand

IMO just because a deal is outside of the box doesn't mean it's a bad deal and I sometimes feel like, for some agents that I've worked with, if it doesn't fit into a standard, cookie cutter, every single day agreement -- it's wrong.I believe if everyone is transparent, if everyone knows the risk and there is a base level of protection is given in a deal-- then is a deal is a deal.

There are way too many factors to try to just use single cookie cutter formula.  

You tell them it's the humidty and they think "This guy is rigging stuff and putting a hack job on us!".

Looks like a key cutter to me?

Nicer school district areas tend to be in the newer developed areas which have either apartment complexes or cookie cutter neighborhoods.  

FHA has a cookie cutter model of how your finances have to look.

I talked to Texas Tax Cutters a few days ago.

I want it to look really nice, but not totally out of place in a neighborhood of cookie-cutter '80s houses (all of which have the same tile-surround fireplace).
