Welcome to BP @Zhenya Miteva and @Leslee Cook!

@James Cook do you have a wife and kids?

@Ethan Cooke agree!

The guru who got me interested in 1992 was Wade Cook.

No other problems.I did talk to the sales guy that said I could actually buy a "remote" system with the unit on a board and then I could get some of the sensors as well and take it from house to house during the rehabs.I thought about it and then decided it would be easier to just stop buying houses in cook county. :-)

I am having fun being frugal, riding my bike around and cooking more.

Since groceries are expensive here, we eat less meat and we learned how to cook with whatever's on sale or in season at the farmer's market.

My name is Scott Cook and this is my first post.I’m brand new here and I am really looking forward to becoming a part of this community – continuing my connections with other investors that I already know, building new connections and hopefully adding something of real value.So for my first foray, I thought I’d talk about what I believe is one of the most important skills that any real estate investor can have – regardless of what type of investing you do.As an investor and as a copywriter who specializes in working with other real estate investors, I think I’ve had a great opportunity to look at things from a unique perspective.I stand on both sides of the street, as it were – an investor and someone who can work with others to help them achieve their goals.So enough blah, blah, blah… here’s a little something to ponder…Are you persuading at your maximum level?

The college isn't all that close, and it's hard to find non-smokers with steady income in this area who wish to have roommates.
