I do believe that our soldiers are there to protect life and give liberty to the Iraqi people.

Give each of your soldiers stacks of your cards for exponential growth.

Basically, when briefed that Three Brazilian soldiers were lost in an attack (not true, by the way), this politician asked if a Brazilian is more than A Million.It was funny at the time.

Martin describes, but we had the hardest time keeping Soldiers from destroying them in the military and those are supposed to be disciplined people that are under as much "control" as people will ever be.

Wouldn't society be better off if folks had to go to the church and look a community in the eye to get help--and be required to give help in return (i.e. show up on saturdays to help hammer nails in the house being given to a needy soldier)?

Around here, the only property - other than vacant land - for sale under $100K is either a dilapidated 2-bdrm "shack" on the outskirts of town (and it's listed at 89K) or an old house in a very rural setting.Even bank repo "Johnny Canuck" house {65 - 70 yr old, 1.5 story 2-3 bdrm houses built by/for returning soldiers after WWII} full of deferred maintenance are going for $135K {two in the last two weeks}.The 30-40K houses and 89-100K 4-plexes you read about on Bigger Pockets is what is enticing investors here to look south (sometimes even further south than the U.S.A).If I had enough cash-on-hand to be purchasing multiple 4 - 6 unit properties outright (at 250-500K a pop), I'd be in the private lending business and not the buy-and-hold business.
