Its really two paths to chose from.1) Allow foreclosures to go on, prices will fall, market will balance and people will allow to get a fresh start who were responsible.2) Allow the government to step in, take tax money give it to people to stave off foreclosures and artificially prop up the market.

Welcome Ryan, thanks for joining my cause in taking over BP :-)

My approach to dealing with the remote investing issues starts with this:-Do your research and pick a city you want to invest in.-Take

Reason i say this is that australians by nature are absolutely fanatical when it comes to property and at the moment alot of investors are looking to the US wanting-ly.Admittedly my intake of knowledge about the US comes only from media sources.

I am not interested in taking some challenge that is set up a marketing tool to add credibility to an investment strategy but more on that later.If you get a copy of the Illustration of the policy you are considering I will be happy to analyze the numbers with you.Bill and I have both been successful in the financial services industry which includes life insurance and have no ax to grind one way or another.

I also see that some people will use a "snow rake" to remove large snow accumulations from pitched roofs.If you have direct vented heating systems, the exhaust and intake might be located close to ground level.

Well, as to the value to be offered, after reviewing all the information submitted and inspecting the note as well as the security agreements, the loan file, origination documents and working papers together with settlement documents and the original contract and in taking into consideration the outstanding liens, accrued taxes and costs expected in collection of the debt, and in consideration of the collateral, I would present an offer in the amount of:$352,687.29ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

AHA, the air intake was now coming from the furnace room and not the outdoors.

If air for combustion has to come from the chimney, this is usually a code violation.There is something called an "air make up kit" (called a scuttle I think) that is used to bring in outside air to avoid combustion air coming down the chimney.Or, you can get direct vented equipment that will have a direct air intake and direct exhaust, so that the new boiler does not get it's air from the boiler room.

The next step, and true power of sites like ours is in taking the next step and connecting by phone, skype, or in person.
