Saturday my home oil furnace went out and after screwing around with it for several minutes, I determined that it must be the Primary Oil Control.

I have taken two of the classes thus far, and am about to take my next two, and haven't taken advantage of the mentor.Eventhough the information was well presented and some questions were answered, I am finding that just getting out there and reading books from libraries, looking up topics on UTube (which somehow linked me to BP), and networking with individuals here on BP, is giving me the same if not more information as the classes.The classes are beneficial; but I think that you could probably find the same types of classes, for much less $$$.A plus for the Rich Dad Academy is that you can retake the class once, and you can enroll in OnDemand (which is just watching the class an hour at a time on the internet).The negative: Once you go to one of the seminars that try to get you to sign up for Rich Dad Academy, you also get another call from their "coaching" system, which is another $$$ (embarrassed to say what it was, because I was roped into this also).My advice; find out the types of investing you want to do, research those topics, and post your questions and leads here on BP.

My 2009 business cut back plan is simple...1- My lease ran out on my satellite office so I did not renew it SAVING $$6500.00 per year (rent, phones, internet, gas getting there)2- NOT buying a new or used car this year SAVING $$6,000.00 (in payments, interest & full coverage)3- NOT hiring anyone new this year SAVING $$27500.00 (but it keeps ALL the pressure on me)4- paid off almost all debt SAVING $12,000.00 in interest per year (commercial loans, high interest credit cards)5- Scaled back the cell phone plan SAVING $1200.00 per year6- NEGOTIATED with internet provider down from 65.00 per month TO $20!!!!

We are in the world of the internet where everything is connected and anything is possible.

I would allow the class of tenant to determine the lease length.

I know that these properties are fairly distressed and need a good bit of repair before they can go on the market.So my questions are:1. what's the best way to determine the cost of fixing up the property, particularly since i'm out of state and can't inspect it myself.

To compensate, i need to cut costs and one of those is the free internet access that I include in every rental.

It's easy to call the water company and determine what that runs.

Maybe do an internet search...

If the increase is unsupported or the documentation to support the increase is not provided, the decisioner should use the lower of the original documented purchase price, auction/ foreclosure bid/value or the new appraisal value to determine LTV/TLTV/CLTV.
