I am viewing the thread on an iOS device, on the Apple app.

There's much more at play than your overall income, so it is very possibly not apples to apples.

By nature, the 4-family is going to cash flow less on a "per door" basis, which means that it's nearly impossible to use this metric to compare properties on an apples to apples basis.

Quick question, how do I do a colleague request and how do I pm someone on the iPhone app?l

Far be it for me to let real data get in the way of a good round of group think, but alas, I do enjoy tipping over the apple cart, so here goes.

Because you are choosing to write a contract to purchase an apple from a grocery store, it in no way allows you to determine how much the store pays for the display in produce.

@Nicholas PatrickIf you are passionate about starting an innovative tech company and know that you are going to build the next Apple, Facebook, Microsoft.... my answer would be "Perhaps you should drop out", however if you are dropping out to become a full time investor... my answer would be "Absolutely Not?"

We have a strong base with the state capital and University of Texas not going anywhere and Dell, Samsung, Apple, IBM, and many more high tech companies continue to expand here.  

We don't need that.The bad apples will try to avoid you and will be sneaky.

---------------------One final thought (sorry this is so lengthy) - while there are bad apples in every profession, it may be unwise and financially damaging to broad-brush any of them.
