I’ve spent some time researching and coming up with a plan to ‘present a case’ to my bride.

Hi Everyone,My name is Nick Henry, but everyone has been calling me Jupiter since I was 6 - it's one of those weird childhood nicknames that just stuck.

This is all told through a wonderful tale of his childhood and growing up with two fathers - a Rich one (his best friend's dad) and a Poor one (his own dad).

My grandfather raised me working on his rental properties through childhood.

I have a childhood friend doing very well in finance and said "when you figure our your model and do a few we'll talk.  

Maybe a seller is afraid that a buyer is going to level that house and they have many childhood memories in the house, so they're being stubborn.

Hi Everyone,As it turns out, the house across the street from my childhood home is getting auctioned on Hubzu.

This is a partnership deal with 3 of my friends, one of which is a contractor/handyman, the other has dealt in REI in the past but has been out of it since the mid 80's, the other is a real estate apraiser with 25 yrs in that field, and I'm a licensed arborist/ horticulturist to deal with the outside end of things. between the 4 of us we are hoping we can handle a few projects and make things work.For now our primary intention is to flip distressed homes but ultimately maybe we could do some renting as well...I've/we've got lots of questions but I'll try to post them in the appropriate areas of the forum...Thanks in advance for any info you're willing to share.For what its worth I'm 43 yrs. young, happily married to my beautiful bride for 15 yrs.

I haven't played the actual board game, but I think it's a good way to introduce concepts and get a feel for investing.Be warned though, it can be kind of tough until you learn the concepts, and a turn-off for people if they fail early on (probably bad childhood memories of Monopoly coming back to haunt them).
