You would think that $2700 per month might be enough, until you realize it gets trimmed to less than $1000 per month to cover utilities, food, gasoline, auto maintenance and insurance, child care, etc. - and they were allowed to present a co-signer or guarantor but nobody would step up to that job.

Women investors rock and statictically our investments outperform our male counterparts. ;)  I'm biased of course but I think the days of pretending we can't do things, or staying quiet are kinda over.

What I find most IRONIC about this is the timing..........natural gas companies stop leasing claiming they have no money left for leases they were buying up like hot potatoes and simultaenously the oil (gasoline) prices have dropped dramatically..............hmmmmmmmmmm

Plus you have to take into account the pay that your make that's not taxed, this has a huge advantage over your salaried civilian counterparts. 

But your counterpart (seller) is more than likely disposing of the asset because he/she didn't run it very well as a business.

Sellers not willing to spend any money for those test....they did a phase I ESA and the reports says:- “ Identified several RECs, primarily associated with the property adjoining the subject property to the north including auto service operations, a waste oil UST with no confirmatory closure data, and gasoline dispensers/piping without proper closure documentation.

Groceries, gasoline, utilities? 

Looking at prices of common goods one can see price inflation; see gasoline, health care, college tuition, food, silver, oil, etc.

Because wholesalers are conditioned to move and move fast, there is never a reason to lock up a deal for more than 30-45 days, unlike are professional counterparts that need up to 6 mos.
