T he worst thing was that my dad had bought me a brand new truck and had a customized 8 track sound system installed and it had to sit in his garage for 2 months. 

They're still driving king cab, dually pick up trucks to the grocery store (although not as many people are buying them) and while starbucks sales/profits are down I still see folks in there putting the lattes on credit cards.Another thing that makes me an optimist (about finding deals that is) is that I know that even in good times some people get in trouble.

I'm sorry Alan, I was very happy to have been on the profit ride with you, but the long term outlook for american car companies is grim, and although I'd love to continue holding onto this stock, you were just forced to recall 655,000 trucks yesterday, and considering your truck line is your biggest brag, things aren't looking good for you in the next 5 years.

I recently attended the monthly local REIA meeting here in South Florida, and noticed a truck at the meeting that had a number to call about RE investment trainee position.

But there are many people who have a monster rental portfolio and make a darn good living.If you are going to flip a house I suggest that you purchase a house that will be in the median price range when it is rehabbed, that way you will be in the price range where there are the most buyers.

I even put my magnetic "we buy houses" sign, with my 1-800 number, on my truck.

I had anticipated some trouble here, so I had brought along my 80lbs lab dog, which I brought out of my truck at that time.

Mobile home parks have the potential to be a cash flow monster but require serious management.I am acquainted with a guy who owns 3 parks and has over 300 houses/spaces that he rents.

Another great idea is a truck or vehicle to leave at big intersections to advertise.

PS: Post back and let me know how it goes...PPS: I used this exact procedure to build a monster D&B commercial credit rating for an LLC I needed to do REI.
