This would continue to play out until there was no remaining NOL carryforward.Our accounting industry is at a turning point in which CPAs should begin transforming from simply providing tax services to advising their clients on strategic tax strategies.

We bought it maybe 13 years ago because there is a transformer  (translation squirrel zapper) on the pole coming to our house and no one else is affected in such power failure.

If you post with Maryland in the title in a general forum, that doesn’t somehow transform the thread into a discussion of general principles. 

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/ Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/new-osu-hospital-expected-to-transform-health-careHere are a few more recent investments https://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0 https://news.wosu.org/news/2022-02-08/rumpke-to-build-50-million-recycling-facility-in-columbus Check out The Complete Guide to the Columbus, Ohio Real Estate Market which goes through the Columbus, Ohio market in depth and will give you a better scope of where the highest levels of growth are taking place and where to look to invest.

I've never done a flip, but I have used Rustoleum's Cabinet Transformations in my home.

I'm interested in REI not just for the potential of financial independence, but also because I am truly fascinated in Real Estate, particularly in the idea of transforming a house from sub-par to a desirable place to live.As of this moment I am a package driver for UPS, and I'm not overly thrilled with my job.

What new technologies do you use for selling and renting something out? How about virtual and augmented reality tools?I've read this article and still can't figure out if AR/VR are effective for real estate? 

Don that is a very tragic event I am sure he has not dealt with fully if he has turned to drugs.You can't just stop doing something.You have to replace it with something else to fill the space.WHITE KNUCKLING and WILL POWER will eventually only lead to failure.My mom worked for years and years at a violence center for women and dealt with people that had issues.You can guide them and try to show the way but at the end of the day it is their choice to want to live or die.Just take in every moment your son is present and in the moment with you and try to cherish those memories.Right now your main goal is to protect the innocent children and take away any bad modeling behavior they are witnessing that can impact them for life.When you kick a habit you have to do something else.Example: Smoking - Bike Riding,Drinking- going to church,drugs-exercise etc.Everyone has stress in their lives and that will never change.As we get older the stress does not go away it just transforms into something else.You might used to have worried about money,then it's your kids,then it's old age,mortality etc.Until your son sees a counselor to deal with these issues and learn coping skills he is going to medicate himself to not feel anything.The first few sessions of therapy is just small talk.The real work begins later on and either people commit and dig in to work on issues or say "Oh I am fine now and get scared and run away".Many people go to their pastor but I feel they are not qualified as a drug abuse specialist or a licensed therapist to help them with situations like that.Don you don't control your son but YOU DO control how you react to what he does and how it impacts your life and family.Maybe you feel guilty for him seeing his mom go through that and enabled him out of guilt to make yourself feel better in the moment.All you can do everyday is work on yourself.If you do that you can have a positive impact on him that can do nothing but help.

@Steve Chaisson @Anna Ahhee I'm actually quite interested in what both of you are doing, as I am planning my personal wealth building to include positive public transformation.

Alex and his team have transformed a group of a couple of guys into one of the best real estate companies in Jacksonville.
