Now bit my wife and I make a good salary and our decision to invest was to add supplemental income to our already outstanding retirement plan. has anyone heard of Cody Sperber"the clever investor" or worked their program.  

I just have a natural knack for figuring out how stuff works and am good with my hands.I consider myself fortunate to have a really good job that I enjoy.

My strengths as an agent include my non-adversarial negotiating skills, my caring and compassionate nature, and my knowledge of the local real estate market.

fence, maybe a natural color similar to the house.Any kind of pavers or even pea gravel immediately outside the back door will help the transition from inside to out.

Is the cost to paint and maintain the painted brick worth the investment vs leaving natural?

And because of its specific nature, it does offer more, but besides that one specific policy (and one other); smoke, fire and explosion are usually it.

Once you have a successful contracting company real estate investing will come naturally as part of your business.

@Andrew PostellThere is not a choice between Line 9 and Line 44 on Schedule C.Line 44 is not a deduction but a supplemental FYI information. 

(and it looks to have been pretty late when he was posting too)The key difference between an IRA and a 401(k) is the nature of the underlying retirement plan.  

I want to get my feet wet, I think I'm just naturally a shy person and thought of building relationships from scratch seems kind of daunting to me.
