In order to bring people  (who were all some form of Pagan at the time)  into the Church the early Catholics used a lot of incorporating:  re-working old Pagan traditions into something "Catholic" (which means 'universal' in the original Greek)  to entice people to convert more readily.Although in the case of the Pagan sacred number 13 the tactic was to discredit it instead:  13 became spoken of as "unlucky" and associated with death and bad things in general.It is no accident that Christian holidays all occur on the dates or previous Pagan holidays:  Christmas in on the Winter Soltice, Easter at the Spring Equinox.  

I have been an investor since 1985 and still enjoy it to this day, you must be very when investing in real estate my recommendation is to educate yourself and make sure you are prepared.Here are some good questions to ask yourself prior to deciding which type of investing avenue to take.Why do you want to invest in real estate?

I educate all potential sellers about "wholesalers" and why they should avoid them.

We all need an education in money and real estate, and we all "pay" for our educations.

I read that you need 90+ hours of classroom/home study education.

Even if there were no chance of a deal, this is experience and education building.If there's an opportunity with nothing to lose and something to gain, take it!

They don't care to educate, they just care to fill their own pockets.

Hey Kathryn,If you no longer work for the state education system then there should be no problem rolling those funds over to any type of IRA.

You should be in the stage of educating yourself.

We're nearing the end of our owner-occupied term and we've started crash coursing our REI education.
