Aside from my thirst for knowledge I enjoy things like mountain biking, hiking, golf, disk golf, skateboarding, snowboarding, and well pretty much anything that challenges me physically and mentally.

But the time you dedicate to working is the same time you're acquiring the means to put food on YOUR family's table, so that THEY don't end up living a poor standard of life due to financial hardship (and it happens to billions, every single day).

Does anyone know what a trend/time table of those areas being built and will it eventually be a good location for rental properties?

In certain cases, KPs could be compensated for what they bring to the table and in other cases they may not.

How does having a wooded, "secluded feeling" large lot (but not actually secluded) in a rural area (western massachusetts, hill/mountainous area) impact selling price vs. a cleared lot on level land, in general.

Find out if the auction site will allow you to assign the contract; if they do, then you can avoid a double closing entirely.If your profit spread is significant -- over $10,000 -- you may want to consider a double closing even if an assignment is allowed, because may exit buyers don't want to pay more than $10,000 for an assignment fee.The value wholesalers bring to the table is to serve as a source of great deals for rehabbers, because the rehabbers are on the job fixing up the houses they plan to flip.

Part of me wonders if I'm the sucker that the table and I just don't know it.
