When William Jennings Bryan made his famous "cross of gold" speech in his 1896 presidential campaign, he was speaking on behalf of heavily mortgaged farmers whose debt burdens were growing ever larger in real terms, the result of a sustained deflation that followed America's post-Civil-War return to the gold standard.4 The financial distress of debtors can, in turn, increase the fragility of the nation's financial system--for example, by leading to a rapid increase in the share of bank loans that are delinquent or in default.

Anyone know of a commercial lender doing 100% funding or cross collaterization loans right now?

If commercial investing in or near Denver Metro has crossed your mind, let me know.

It will depend on your state laws (I live in Texas).Basically, if a piece of land is accessible ONLY BY using a neighboring property, via side trail or along a fence line...then this access is YOUR access to your land.That property owner can not block you from crossing his land to get to yours.

Continuing south from the Malecon you will cross another bridge, over the River Cuale into Zona Romantica.

But if I were going to set out to do it, I would do this (or have an assistant do this):* Scan Craigslist Leads* Scan leads from other local newspaper* Scan leads from FSBO magazines at the grocery store, etc* Put them all in a spreadsheet or Highrise* Search all their numbers on whitepages.com* Search them all on the do not call list--cross off those who are, because it's still soliciting even if you're not selling something* Call them all 3 times until you get a live person on the phone* Pre-screen live answers and work the dealI would probably call 200-300 numbers as a decent test and then compare:* The time it took* Any costs involved* what % of sellers were motivated* Ask if it's worth it and proceed if it is

Text is simply more direct and more personal and many of the guru's that border on spamish behaviors have taken note of this.

This one I found particularly interesting:On "Choose to be Rich" 12 CD set (that you get when you sign up for the $500 seminar), CD 4 or 5 I think, Kiyosaki clearly calls out this event from his life: him and his wife Kim were broke and all they had was $50 left, so they went to some cheap motel and got a room and it turned out to be only $40; so, they went across the street and bought some chicken and beer for the remaining $10.Kioysaki's wife Kim recently released a book called "Rich Woman," where in foreword she clearly states this: at some point they were broke and they had no money left and all credit cards were maxed out; she went to some cheap motel and gave the receptionist her maxed out credit card, while keeping her fingers crossed that they don't actually run it.
