I would rather buy dry cows and feed out for 90 days to get white fat than do cow calf or feeders.  

The places I work are remote small towns and villages 60-100 miles away from my home and those places don't have good cell service. 

And the guys who actually perpetrated the fraud would be in the cells next to him. 

Doing it the other way, I can get fat returns and acquire 20 properties in the same time frame while still having tons of liquid cash  available.

On the retail side, they are fat with overhead most times and it is negatively affecting pricing because margins have compressed and they struggle to adjust.   

My cell phone number is plastered everywhere and I give it out all the time.

We used a professional photographer which was better than our cell phone pics. 

In addition we're finding lots of "old property problems" leaky pipes, wood rot in some areas as most have original windows & framing on the exteriors.To sum it up, I see long term potential but this isn't an easy "buy & hold with a fat cap rate" you will need to put some work in & make sure you have a solid manager in place to help you deal with your problems as they come.

I’ll send you a pm with my cell. look forward to meeting and hearing about Texas real estate  

NO social welfare at all. you either make it or you don'tand of course not every one is really rich in Singapore.. but they pretty much ALL work. and there is govmit housing but you have to buy them  500k and up... for a condo.we won't solve the welfare problems in America here on BP.. its just something to ponder and wonder .. and scratch your head about.. and maybe get frustrated at tax season when we are writing big fat checks but we all get the same use of the roads and other public amenities.
