We brought back this house to its original glory, restoring many precious historical details along the way.

There is nothing more precious than family.

@Precious Thompson Hey Precious.  

If you have $1000's of dollars of computers, jewelry, and furniture the owner's policy will not cover that.

-Parents...the helicoptering is getting worse, so dealing with their warped views on their precious snowflakes can be a REAL hassle, far worse than the kids themselves.Here's some more general tips I've gained over the years:- If renting SFR, you need to rent them a year in advance...if they aren't rented by Christmas for the following year, you're going to have trouble filing them (especially now with the crazy rate of construction really close to campus). 

Wear expensive clothes, watches, jewelry, etc..

I have a Roth, traditional, and a self directed IRA that I hold precious metals in. 

In spite of bond price charts, precious metals price charts, stock charts, housing charts, interest rates and consumer sentiment all screaming that a correction should already be underway, it could still take several weeks, months or even years before the bottom inevitably falls out.

However after spending up about ten minutes of a local RE attorney's precious time trying to explain the concept of wholesaling to him, he just straight out said to me that he was very familiar with websites like BP and that with his "30+ years of experience and hundreds of closings under his belt", he could tell me that "you guys (along with the (3) REI courses that I have taken) are only giving newbies like myself half of the story."

I currently teach some college classes online, and own a small business selling jewelry making supplies on Etsy.
