I've evolved from a buy and hold with the occassional flip, to a guy who just flips and seller finances that flip.I've stayed in touch with my market in the TX Hill Country until our move and I only did 2 deals there in the last 2 years, one thin, one fat!

I guess me being a big guy helps at 250lbs, but I carry the 40cal and had the 45 cal full size Glock for two years now and it has never been discovered in a holster on the right side of my body.

One respondent said that if a person can't take care of their own body, how can they be trusted to take care of my business.

Back to finding the deals - the best deals are the one's that no body knows about.

Yes, there are times when I want to quit or go to sleep because I'm sooo tired, but my body moves on its own...

Depending on your state $1-$10 some times I put a big fat zero.

There is conflicting wording in the various areas here, but you have it from the big guy himself, right there, they retain NO ownership interest in articles.But, there is, in my opinion, a more basic flaw in their article guidelines...May not contain any links or images within the body of the article.Articles on the web build upon other articles and content on the web, without being able to cite sources, with links, it is impossible to verify the content in an article or even review the sources the author relies upon.

Your in the game you might as well play where you have the greatest chance of success.It is all about risk assesment in my humble opinionI prefer to risk everything I have because if i lose what I have I will have it all back in under 5 years most likely in 2 years.If I don't risk it I know I will be broke and unable to retire.Hmmm what is retirement......I don't think Ill ever do that one because my definition of retirement is to be able to go where I want when I want and do what ever I want to do.........So I make a few phone calls during the day and make more money for doing so......I will never quit teaching people This business because It has made me a truely free man.One will never be free until one has no attachments in life because attachments by the nature of the word attach us or tie us down......I am not attached to my money or things....I can't take them with meI am not attached to life.......when i die my body stays hereI am not attached to my wife and son .....I love them but they are their own spirits.......If we had never taken the risk to travel to the moon we would have never reaped the benifits of such a great undertaking..Sorry but I believe that all things are possible to him that believe...I guess it's kind of a sensitive subject for me.

I am really a fat, old, gray haired guy; but, that fella looked good - so I decided to be him for the internet (just kidding.. it really is me).

There are people there who can truely say life is hard but in our country the poor people(welfare) are fat and oppulent have TV's Cars homes to live in more than enough food their children get a free education.....they are not not skinny and withering away .I'm just saying keep things in proper perspective.
