Also, you said the license is sold with it, I doubt that is totally it....liquor licenses are usually permitted, so many available in a certain area, you can buy the license rights, you still have to obtain the license in your name.Since my last post I spoke to a guy familiar with the business in NJ, he suggests you play the politics game as well, city to state, seems you may need friends from time to time.....hmmmm.See an attorney!!!

@Bob BowlingI don't play the stocks myself that's why my analogy is not the best.

My local market is a low-risk, good return market but has slow on-market timelines - perfect for you to play the "live in it 2 years" tax game.  

The powerball ticket is mostly spending a couple of bucks on hope and the fantasy of what you would do with it.Hell, I know multimillionaires who still play the lottery.

Believe it or not, Call of Duty isn’t going to help me reach my goals, and I spend most of the time I play the game complaining about how terrible the maps are, how bad the lag is (even though I am just bad at the game of course) and how much I miss Modern Warfare 2.

Whether it's purchased for $160 OR $180k (I'd say FMV right now is $180K), not much if any discount or value play. The

I play the market all the time but I am young and far from wealthy so I'm a gambler and stick to options and go in and out very fast i have gone in and out of higher and lower tax brackets over night.... the market could crash this year and many say we are in for an earnings recession and in my view it could be any day bc if you just google S&P500 and look at the chart in max view you will see from as far back as it will show up up up up down down up up up up down down up up up up etc...... we are due for a major correction soon although i think markets will rally some more this year and this coming earnings will generally be poor but not as poor as predicted so the market will be looking good and the FED will raise rates at the end of the summer than yea after the holidays things will be super slow higher rates higher costs and with the oil prices and political movements more volatile than shares of tesla maybe yea a big crash and some people will lose it all while some people will be buying it all waiting for the next upswing its the cycle of life...Craziest thing i ever read about the stock market was that SEC halted trading on a bunch of medical marijuana stocks that were trading on the OTC market and i said WAIT WTF theres public pot corps lol i mean who would buy a medical marijuana stock... forget cooking the books what happens when the DEA burns the books so how does that work.... so aslong as there are people dumb enough to invest publicly in a company that is operating in a risky federally illegal business than yea the stock market can crash any day of the week for just about any reason...

Secondly, as I am a beginner I was just looking to purchase tax certificates first and play the waiting game.

They play the numbers game and are very successful at collecting cash from newbies.

@Bryan Glaser Hi Bryan - If your dad can be your handyman then I'm not sure if you even need him to play the property manager role.
