Manufacturers haven't shown up on the top ten employer list for at least 40 years - now it's all about health care, law/accounting and insurance.

Their requirements have to do with health and safety, vinyl and laminate counters are perfectly fine.

I guess with frustrations rising due to this rumored "economic crisis" people tend to get a little cranky.

I joke that if I could just figure out  an economical way to ship Louisiana's excess water to California, I could solve both states' problems in an instant (and probably make a killing in the process)!!!

The problem with the "gurus" and free advice is that none of it, that I've seen, takes into account the present economic situation in each local market or, across the country.

Generally speaking encouraging people to try to time the market and steering them towards high risk strategies is bad investing advice in my opinion, and yes I would place OOS investing for high cash flow in the “high risk” category, possibly the equivalent of buying a stock with a 13% dividend yield thinking that’s a smart move because the cash flow is great when in reality the company is likely desperate to raise cash and approaching bankruptcy, just like rust belt properties with high cash flow might seem good to a short-sighted investor, when in reality those properties are cheap because locals have witnessed decades of out migration/ industrial decline and realize those properties are on the cusp of economic and functional obsolescence.

I have just recently lost my job as a Health Insurance Counselor so I figured I would enroll in a pre-license salesperson course and begin working towards getting my license.

My background has been high school education/coaching (special education, pe, health, football) for the past 7 years.

There are two books that I found to give me the foundation in two different fields:1) For flipping houses I cannot recommend enough: "The Book on Flipping Houses" by J Scott.2) For understanding the basic economics of real estate, and specifically for buy-and-holds: "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow..." by Frank Gallinelli.
