Second, if someone I don't know spams me with text messages, I will take their number and start adding their number to every spam phone list I know about -- they deserve the same crap they're doling out to others.Third, if someone spams me with text messages, I will never, EVER buy a deal from them, regardless of how good the deal is.Just one investor's opinion...

There's no sense in trying to tackle the 15%...you'll bleed out.Good real estate data can be found from a good Realtor in your area who is willing to help you study areas where the market is outperforming the rest.

I am blessed because I [so far]am being blessed with the opportunity to live until I die. and I am having SO much fun playing with power tools, learning how to sand floors [ yes, I am using very special masks and all sorts of protection because of a supressed immune system] and I am getting ready to tackle repairing huge holes in the plaster walls that have concrete under them.

Dissect the Health Care Bill (aka GUT IT), and tackle the real problem, HEALTH CARE COSTS and TORT REFORM.3.

I cannot stand that crap, just outright SPAM!!!

With where I'm at in my development as an investor right now, I believe it's just cheaper and makes more sense to use my own money when I can, and use private money (costs more) to tackle more deals when all my money is tied up.

and my partner and I live in a two story house and we've already had the discussion on what type of remodeling we'd be doing to the downstairs when attempting to tackle the stairs to go up to the bedrooms gets to be too much of a hassle.  

There are hundreds of horror stories for any type of scenario we can think of, but there are also hundreds of thousands of success stories...some of them being mine, where non-licensed parties perform small jobs that no licensed contractor will tackle if the contractor or rehabber wishes to stay in business.
