Yeah, rent control is a huge pain in the *** in Oakland, hence vacant properties selling for a healthy premium over those with tenants. 

It's time consuming, but in both relationship building and education, with and for those investors, time well spent.Dunn-Edwards paints... you had me on that one as I'd not heard of it before.... looks to be a regional manufacturer out west... kind of like McCormick for us.

Which kinda threw me off and made me feel guilty, then I remembered I did absolutely nothing wrong I was just the consumer stuck in the middle.I'll have to see if I get my money back from the 3rd party, I filed a claim yesterday.Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

The major issue that I am seeing is that dodd frank put an end to consumer hard money loans.

Killeen/Ft Hood as well as nearby Waco are healthy markets and affordable. 

I am finally at a healthy place.  

It doesn't matter whether you sell a product or a service, tangible or intangible, to consumers or businesses.

Combine that with the fact that younger consumers are spending less on retail purchases and more on things like travel, and eating out.The vacancy, home owner rates, tell me it is a good time to be a real estate investor.The DOW plunging tells me maybe I should consider buying the dip....and I am in fact adding energy stocks and mlp's.

(from general masses)Someone who is recklessly destroying all the "historical" neighborhoods and building huge new properties while smoking cigars and playing poker on a beachWhile "-aholic" has stigma of obsession Where a person has no life and is consumed by let's say work (like in workaholic) but we also can say that it is a hard working person (at least in Russian Workaholic can be used in a good and bad way.

The only (not hard part) but (time consuming part) is answering the questions and setting things up.
