I have chosen to buy and hold as a main strategy. 

Scott:  I should have expected @Brandon Turner would have chosen to display the back of the shirt above.For your next item, might I suggest a light-weight, water resistant, wind-shirt (pull-over w/ 1/3 zip or a full zip), which folds-up in it's own "Bigger Pocket" for storage and hangs off your pack/belt/whatever, when you are not wearing it.I promise I'll use it when I running an ultra out your way ...

There's plenty of people posting on this site that I have chosen to ignore ...

Never again.Replacing fridges and making repairs is just part of the business (I love it when Hyman Roth tells Michael "This is the business we have chosen" in Godfather II.)"

I've chosen one property that looks good and is cheap.I've enquired at the agency listing it and I've been told I need a buyres agent , I didn't have any, I was given a phone number to one, I called him and when I asked him who pays him for his services , he said the bank that is selling it.1.Will this make sure that I get a good deal or will he make sure that the bank selling it and paying him a commission will get a good deal?

Chosen method of communication is text.

In my opinion, no because you don't really know what the true rent will be, the home will probably sit vacant and there is no way to see how your chosen PM will do.

would you have chosen a different degree looking back?
