I will be going to Brazil for two weeks.

This is nuts.

Myself and my wife relatively new to investing but have had some good luck investing in Brazil (which catapulted us both into the idea of RE investing as a regular part time business) and are now involved in closing on a deal in NW Worcester MA area.So to your question.

It was nuts!

@Russell Brazil yes it is lol....I wish I could vote this video 20 times, it's hilarious!

The tenants pay the bills but I am most certainly not going to let them go nuts and ruin a property with keg parties or whatever. 

Countries: Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Uruguay, Spain, Portugal and others.

Your Excel entry example makes perfect sense to me as an outsourcing option.I think we should outsource the time consuming intellectual / electronic / virtual work and free ourselves up to innovate, create, and do what we're good at or love to do.I think we should insource premier talent, R&D, manufacturing, farming.... things that require serious talent and/or serious shipping costs, or relate to national security and well-being (energy, farming)If we cultivate a reputation as a source of innovation, top-notch talent at top-notch salaries, and high quality manufactured products that we stand behind - I think the U.S. can remain strong into the forseeable future.If we continue to not look beyond the bottom line in business - we're doomed - we can't hope to compete with China, India, Brazil...

God help us if we get several of these nut jobs in the upper house molding policy for our nation at a time when we need good leadership the most.

Thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts.
