my loto tickets say otherwise....

Focus on your big ticket expenses if you become the owner - roof, HVAC, updated electric/plumbing, foundation.  

Looking for some other ideas about where to put money to place short term ($1,000 for one year, the other $1,000 for 2 yrs), basically this is money on top of my emergency fund that I'm saving for big ticket costs for either car/house.

They have come out with a list that ranges from cosmetic to something that hinders their day to day living.The list is long and some of them are big ticket items.

They used to have a tech support / help desk line, but now the website says they don't offer that since listing is a free service.I have put in several tickets for help using a form on their website.

, so the big ticket item was switching from oil to gas and putting in a new gas furnace.

The most important thing for every investor to get you through your first fix and flip deal or 100 th deal comes down to experience and credit.The higher the credit the better pricing terms are.Usually higher credit less down payment to bring to table.Lower the credit higher down payment to bring to the table.Experience is the icing on the cake and can overcome credit issues in most cases because the lender can see that you know ehat your doing.However if credit is to low or negative the pricing may still be a little higher relative to what a prime borrower will get with significant experience and credit.So all in all its a sliding scale credit plus experience is the golden ticket for prime pricing and the most leverage.If either of these are not ideal...No problem pricing changes where you may be charged higher interest relative to a prime borrower or have to bring money down or pay monthly interest.Its all relative to your deal and scenario and gameplan.

I went to one of those 3 day events by one of the big gurus (my broker bought tickets but couldn't go, I went to network with other investors) last weekend.

I just created a bug ticket so we can get it fixed.Thanks Bryan!

I told her on the phone this site would be her ticket to getting the needed contacts.
