If you stop posting things that are ridiculous, I'll gladly not use that word again in relation to your posts.I do not have the actual investment details in front of me...You have no idea what I include in my own calculations, Fortunately, I have the details from one of the deals that YOU posted:$155,000 Duplex - Currently appraised for $165,000.

I set up forms for my prospects to fill in their info, maps to my properties, tips on buying and selling, FAQ pages..... and I even invite any real estate related businesses to advertise on my site (so sometimes I get their referrals).

Economics at the Air Force Academy... it is the only finance related major there I could find.

I hear you as to your fuill time job, I work one too, although mine is real estate related - we would all love to get up in the morning and do notheing but buy and sell real estate.

Wheatie, one of the ideas I still have a tough time with (as it relates to the 50% rule) is how to adjust projected operating expenses for high property taxes.For example, there is a two family house that rents out for 1k p/m, total (12k p/y).

Plus I know all my renters and keep a good relation with all of them.

Anything business related

My objective is to buy the house back in 5-7yrs.

A few suggestions which I think would enhance biggerpockets (some taken from vBulletin), in no particular order:* multi-quote - the ability to select multiple posts for quoting* kudos - ability to register approval of a post, or agreement with a point, and then count these and somehow rate posters - just provides more incentive to share and try to be constructive and helpful * ability to view the forum in wide screen format (maybe you can but I can't see how - the forum text only takes up about 30% of the width of my screen)* more/better emoticons - happy to suggest some if you like ;)* also I'd like emoticons inserted where the cursor is, rather than always at the end of the text (ie if you edit and want to insert an emoticon in an earlier para, you seem to be only able to do it by cutting and pasting the emoticon, which is always inserted at the very end of the whole post)* I imagine this is related to the fact that whenever you format some text, your cursor is moved to the very end of the post; I'd rather the cursor be left where it was just prior to applying formatting (eg bold)* ability to report/hide abusive posts, to try and stop conversations degenerating into slanging matches :roll: Love the forum - thanks, Josh.

Tim Feriss (no relation :wink: ) really was on target with how to negotiate with ad reps.Tim
