That was the test one I mentioned on the other thread.

Then I left the area, kept the rentals and bought a house where I wanted to live at that time.There is one thing for sure, it would be much easier to "test" the theory by renting where you live and buying rentals for cash flow first.

I haven't seen that movie however I can predict more taxes in the form of unseen or phantom taxes (you know the ones, you hear about them ONCE on the news and suddenly there they are and quickly forgotten) like the gasoline tax or the cigarette tax...perhaps now we will have the "bottled water tax" or the "federal *** emissions tax" (aka: the farmer's stock animal fart tax) or the "domestic house pet tax" on the pet food from the store.......because they sure as hell are not going to stop SPENDING our money or earmarking.....Soon taxpaying Americans will be storming the borders of Canada and Mexico just to stop the taxation madness of the next SEVERAL generations.

Time to go shopping folks :mrgreen:The biggest test is selling those homes in those markets.

I just updated my forum signature - this is a test to see if it worked...

In my case the advice is tried...tested...and proven to help someone in the past (if not myself then one of my students) and so it might help someone else.

Why don't teachers just give students all of the reading, homework, and outlines, in the first week for everything they need to learn for the year, and then test them on all of the material during the second week?

Test it out and see how it goes.

While I am surprised we have not seen people" going postal" through all of this, at the end of the day you can not beat them, only find ways to work within their system the best we can.They are giving all of us the ultimate test in self discipline!

Back in the day $2,500 would go towards a Breitling watch or bottle service at a nightclub.Nowadays I am stoked to get a check no matter how small or large it is.
