And to Michael Quarles, that post right there was worth its weight in gold.

It was not because it had anything to do with my website or my transition to online marketing, but moreso it had to do with a lot of things happening for me & my family, within a short amount of time, that took me away from the REI business: My wife was pregnant and had our 2nd child in July 2018.We moved out of our home, due to a decision we made about moving closer to my wifes job.We also spent time putting our house on the rental market; we are now we are buy & hold investors.Going through a personal weight loss transformation...so far lost about 27lbs in 9 weeks.Closed down my private counseling business so I can create more time to be with my family.Had to hold off on investing my funds into the online marketing portion in order to re-evaluate my wife and I's finances (i.e. student loans, credit cards, mortgage, etc). 

That said some are worth their weight in gold. 

I've struggled with weight my whole life.

Its blind of race, religion, sexual orientation, height, weight and all of the other words we use to describe who  we are and what our societal manifesto is. 

However due to their check and balance system the PO will pull 1:9 drops to confirm weight and if correct and already pre sorted it doesn't truck to the sorting center.

Personally I find a lot of guru promotion offensive however there are a few guys worth their weight.  

Ryan Dossey  well in the 60's when my dad did direct mail  ( they were actually door hangers) and you filled out the card if you wanted more info and poped It back in the mail and it was a prepaid mail card... when someone did like our door hanger they would wrap it in a brick and send it.. back since we had to pay by weight.. but our post office was cool my dad had the same box for 30 years and send out literally probably a million of those things and got back multi thousands of leads... but as  a Kid I thought it was funny.

I'm only going to answer first point here.What your asking is like me saying "which city in SoCal should I buy in, LA, Orange County or San Diego" they have their own pros and cons and unless you find someone that's live in all three cities or invests in all three the answers are going to be weighted/bias.The Cap rates have reduced because many out of state investors have come into the market and raised the costs of purchasing these homes.

I just learned that If you buy a new or pre-owned “heavy” (6,000 lbs curb weight) SUV, pickup, or van and put it to use in your business, you are potentially eligible for 100% first-year bonus depreciation.
