I am engaged and trying to work 2 jobs to help pay for whats turning out to be a very expensive wedding.

I'm always looking for educational oppurtunities, teaching and learning, but I hate the "get rich quick" themes.

I was sitting at my desk one day (at a job I wasnt overly fond of) and began writing out my goals, I don’t remember all of the details but I do remember the major themes of the goals.Goal #1 Own a Harley before I was 30 years oldGoal #2 Have at least $30,000 in the bank before I was 30Goal #3 Make at least $100,000 a year by the time I was 30Goal #4 Own at least 5 investment properties before I was 30Goal #5 Have a fun car by the time I was 30I think I must have been about 29 years old and was working on cleaning out my basement when I discovered my old book of goals.

hey Joshua Dorkin,I'm not a computer person like yourself, I was asked by Graham to Join this discussion because my family received a low interest loan and he wanted a person who has actually done it to speak up.I have been in Asia for 12 years supporting orphans, and outreach groups, and volunteer every weekend I'm in Japan helpin Japaneses couples with their big wedding day.

This seems to me like a variation on the same theme.

I might have a meeting Wed am, but if I don't, I'll see you there!

We book a solid 100-125 nights during the ski season and only 25-50 nights the entire rest of the year (mostly weddings in July/August).If you are looking for a positive cash flow on this type of investment, run.

Martin - there certainly appears to be a theme of duplex/fourplex purchasing as a good first step in investing.

This place is the Six Flags theme park of real estate info!

Anyway if you like the price you offered I'd wait 30 more days, and ask your realtor to check the status at the worst they tell you they haven't heard anything, but if it's going to be approved my guess it will be here very shortly so you don't have a whole lot longer to wait.BTW if your 90 days is Wed you can keep putting offers on other properties while you wait, if you find something you like and get an approved offer you back out of the short sale no problem because it is after the 90 day mark so you get your EMD back.
