I don’t mean to bag on my hometown, it’s just my only first hand case study of cash flow vs. appreciation.

Well, the seller is a low-life scum bag and had no intention of doing this.

however, i am keenly aware that certain types of investment schemes (for lack of a better word) tend to end badly....occasionally with out of state investors holding the bag with a loan they've guaranteed on a house that is truly worth maybe half of what the appraisal says (btw, i am not a fan of appraisals...).  

But.... those dirt-bag's don't mean ALL business's coaches are dirt-bag's.

He did help out the day I needed the truck and thought picking up 26 bags of quickrete and dropping them off at the house ourselves wouldn't be difficult. never again.

The only assets they have is $10k and good credit.Personally I’ve always found lifestyles members to be total cheese bags.

That said my STR is not somewhere that a cozy authentic wood fire would be expected.

In theory it may be but I am doing a lot of research in this oil boom in various states and it's a mixed bag depending on who your talking to and what info your getting.

I need a brown paper bag.

That will be authentic, and may work better than computer-generated mail.And the guy who runs yellowLetters.com, Michael Quarles, I find to be very sharp.
