Husband says to wife: We just won the lottery!

Take a huge tax loss and you are even more likely to win the audit lottery.

However, if you can fix it quick and for $1M find a $4M prop you can sell in 5 years for $8M, might make it happen.Then again, maybe buy 1M $1 tickets in a lottery?

Every year they celebrate Landlord appreciation day and send you lottery tickets (But also think "Why is it only once a year" so they do it every 3 months).

Buy lottery tickets, lots of lottery tickets.Instead of focusing on the $10K, why not:1) Figure what you're good at2) Figure if there is a market for it3) Get your business in order4) Execute your plan.Money will follow if you're right.

I think you are worrying what color Ferrari to buy when you have not won the Lottery yet.FIND some deals and make some money first.

There is tons of info on this forum that you can use, but there is going to be real work and time you need to spend to get anywhere, RE investing is not same as lottery, it is a lot more then quick bucks and luck.You are on the right track.

One of my college friends died of a sudden heart attack last year in his late 40's, also after 20+ years of working on Wall St (lots of pressure) and it reinforced my decision to walk away as soon as financially feasible and still have my health.Perhaps someone on BP have a story more exciting like buying bitcoin at $1 or win a sizable lottery? 

Everybody has a story...wouldn't you prefer one about winning the lottery or having a really BIG STASH of Girl Scout Cookies?!!! 

EIDL seems to be a lottery where some get loans with no proof and other don't.
