It is the primary reason my wife Vicky encouraged me to get involved with real estate vs. the stock market.Also... please accept my appologies for double posting...

The government should encourage housing more than it discourages it as best as possible.

I might as well just go sell property instead".. even though that is not what I want.I just need some positive comments or encouragement that may help me to continue to believe that I have chosen the right path with real estate investing and that someone in my position CAN do it, contrary to what everyone is saying.Sorry for the long post, but I am desperately needing some help and would greatly appreciate any.Thank you ~

On the SLO's I've done we just have the seller (owner) convert to a landlord policy and STRONGLY encourage our TB's to take out a renters policy.

Of course, there is a correlation between single and unfit, but I've seen no evidence of causation.Personally, I think it's cheaper to pay for someone's abortion than to pay to raise their kids, so I'd love the government offer to pay to abort and save taxpayer dollars down the road.Unfortunately, the religious right in this country would rather have unfit mothers raising welfare children than to encourage abortion, so that won't ever happen.

Most of it comes from people who have never managed a property or from real estate agents who are looking to appeal to newb investors, but who have also never run their own rental property.With that in mind, I came across such a post on a member blog here on BP: Practical Real Estate Tips (share your thoughts below the post)What I'd like to do is have this thread be a place where we share any articles that we find online that offers bad advice for landlords.Please be sure to link to the article and be sure to explain why you think the advice stinks.I also encourage anyone reading these articles to be sure to let the authors know why the info they are providing is dangerous.We as a community can expose this information and do our best to correct it.So . . . share your thoughts on the article I mentioned before and be sure to start posting more junk advice wherever you find it.

The government role is to create environment that encourage businesses to grow and create job.

Meanwhile, here are my responses to all of you:Bill & Uwe - Thanks for the support and encouragement!

As you know, any monies will certainly come in handy in our ongoing quest to continue to improve BP so all of you can keep making money.I want to encourage all the people reading this to please tell everyone they know about it, and of course, about BP.I hope to get a call or email from the big boys so someone here can jump on a jet for a week in Cancun thanks to Nick and Rich!
