The political discussions are engaging, but they are also very distracting.

I got distracted in the middle of posting, and Jason's post beat mine.

lol...i must confess it reminds me of the time i had just fallen in love. ages ago.....the feeling of being distracted...i feel the same now...distracted at work...at home....lol...

I have money put aside so that we dont have to be distracted by bills while Im working, I have about 100K in cash that needs to be multiplied and I have some ambition that should come in handy.The past week or so I've just been driving around target neighborhoods, trying to get a feel for streets, value and home styles.

pictures of "after" are very good. just one recommendation: try to keep them the same size because it's a little distracting when it resizes to multiple dimensions every single picture.but that's minor stuff. very good otherwise. very good website. like the clean look.

My advice is not meant for such people because those are not economic optimizers.For the rest of us on BP who want to be hugely successful, I would recommend that you do not get distracted into doing multiple strategies.

Property managers are definitely worth it.The key is that they do it full time and do not have other things they are working on distracting them from keeping your property performing.I currently do not own any properties.If I did I would have a property manager.I am fixing to buy a franchise business that cash flows 60,000 a year after expenses.The manager will be there meeting with me once a week.I don't have time to run it day to day to squeeze every last cent out of it.I make a much higher return spending time closing deals for my clients.So how you look at this will really depends on your situation and strategy.My strategy is to work on my businesses but not in them.If I have to work IN multiple revenue streams I can't be all places at once.If I set up automated controls in place I can keep a pulse on all streams and make sure they are performing.

When I have them call 15 or 20 minutes before their appointment, they call and then must get in the car and leave for the appointment within 5 minutes (before they get distracted).

They don't have a strong enough "WHY", and when you don't know why you're doing what you're doing- you get distracted.

I got a bit distracted trying to sell some homes into the tax credit.
