deal flow is tough and that is a testament to the market bouncing back like we all hope it would and it should other wise we are really in trouble. 

Once a personal check bounces, money orders are required from then on.

It's hard to bounce back after getting burned, but you're definitely in the right place to start again.

It's up to the tenant to ensure they have sufficient funds, if a Cozy payment fails or a check bounces I then charge the tenant a fee (assuming this causes it to be late).If you're really concerned you can take what @Jonathan Cope does one step further and require payments on, say, the 25th in your lease.

Do not hesitate, to post questions and bounce ideas around in applicable forums.

Stocks very close to overvalued if not already, bonds stink in a rising interest rate environment, real estate is risky now(home prices bounced well above the trend line)and way below normal on yield.R.e. notes may be the only thing to consider unless you are brave enough for bitcoin 

If anyone, young or old, is interested in having someone to bounce ideas off of and talk REI with, please hit me up!

If you ever want to get together and bounce ideas off each other feel free to hit me up.

so use the airline and the corresponding airline card and you would be amazed at how your miles stack up and same with using same hotel.I get a little nervous when i have less than 1 million miles in my account for airline miles and bounce around 2 million hilton points.so i have not paid for vacations in at least 2 decades  and i always fly business or first for free.. just go price international business and first class.. thats an eye opener if I wanted to go coach its dirt cheap on miles.but if your just using a card and no real flying then seems to me a cash back is best.. use your cash back card at Costco get cash back from both companies i think ???
