I guess you could just do heads or tails with a coin and pray you are right?

Letting the tail wag the dog.

Honestly seem like I would just keep chasing my tail and never move forward on something if I were to try the HML route.I will message Chris on here and see what he has to say

I work everyday but I'm at the mercy of others with more money than me and until I can say "bye bye" to my job I have to walk around with my tail between my legs until I'm free.

I like paved highways, knowing we have people chaisng bad guys keeping my tail safe so I can make money.I didn't read your post Rich, cause I'm not a techie either, I will if someone fixes it.Knowing that I pay more taxes than GE doesn't sit well with me.

Some good ideas up there.Why notIdentify the property with the equity you're looking forKnowing the area, you shouldknow what price range it should beDrive by and see what it's likeSend your letter, but now one that is more tailored to the particular property.Give it three days and followup with a cold call.Seems to me that sending 600 out is a little over the top that puts you in a position to work your tail off.

Anything else means your dealing with someone who is a "tail lighter".

Plus those threads that are linked in that post now get brought back to life every now and then with a comment or question - and that is also a good thing IMO, because it places new discussion on the tails of the prior discussions and builds upon that or clarifies that discussion.There's nothing to stop anybody from doing something similar.

Middle-class mom and dad with several small kids rolling around the living room floor with a pit-bull shaking its tail... maybe.

With capital gains taxes so low the tail is wagging the dog to not just sell, pay the tax, and invest the money properly.
