I am wishing I could find a mentor to guide me through this until I "break through the ice" with my first couple of deals...

Now OIL is running out and we (and our leaders) are doing NOTHING to supplant it.The common thread in the case of the Dutch and the English is that the reliance on plentiful, and cheap energy caused a complacence because it was just TOO EASY to keep doing what they had been doing.A couple of parallels to this can be found in the cliche' about the old "buggy whip makers", and simlarly in the case of people who made, and delivered ICE back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.There were probably a lot of players in both industries, and as competition from refrigerator manufacturers and auto makers became intense, the remaining buggy whip makers and "ice men" were obviously the MOST EFFICIENT players in their respective markets.

If I suspect termite damage I start poking stuids and sills with an ice pick and call our local termite treatment guy.

Along the path we are and will be facing Severe Winter and Ice Storms and to top it off Extreme Wildfire Threats.We have already seen this year with Jan producing 7 Major Disasters, Feb producing 3 Major Disasters, March producing 3 Major Disasters and April producing 2 Major Disasters.

We already have an ice-skating ring and bowling club confirmed, so if you would like to be apart of this and the boom in Fiji, let me know.Regards,Aaron Mcilhagga.Gillier Group

The icing on the cake Seller financing, if structured properly, creates an opportunity to maximize the sale value of the property.

:lol: The fact is that if property owners in high risk areas were completely responsible for the risk they represent, there would be fewer of you living there.It really chaps my frozen a** that I'm up here chippin' ice so I can subsidize those of you that keep building and re-building on the glorious sand-bar called Florida.

Ok so they really have to be cream of the crop stuff for me to make money and the next guy to make money...but so what type of contingency can i go with?

A new one, with side-by-side doors, ice/water in the door, etc., costs about $525.

With all the snow and Ice droping in the northern states.
