. :)Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends..

The housing market is responsible for a large portion of growth for the US, and if lending has become harder for most Americans, then it will only lead to one outcome.

Its an easy added value and not much of an investment when you shop garage sales and thrift stores.

I think you'll fin that a one man shop will be tough to do to stay up with compliance, next year you won't be able to collect you own note on a residential deal.

I really am not so familiar with the South American and Carribean cultures.

I thought Thanksgiving was just an American holiday!

There is great value in small shopping center strips with higher caps.

I got my first loan on my own at 17, from a loan shark personal loan shop, it took some talking but I convinced the guy he'd get his money back and he did.

Went by another shopping center, Wal-Mart looked like an average Sunday morning, the Home Depot was empty, about 20 cars a Target.I didn't see what went on yesterday on Thanksgiving, some stores opened yesterday.The streets are practically empty too, very strange on any day at 8 AM, but on Black Friday.......whatsup?

I took a local driving job only to be replaced by Mexican nationals flown in specifically to replace 36 american drivers.Ok; enough of my sob story.
