I actually attended a REIA meeting last year (I won't say where) in which the presenter, the "voice of experience" for that group, got up and encouraged investors to endure negative cash flow for up to 3 years on the insane promise of inevitable wealth and riches to be made sometime in the future.Made me sick to my stomach to watch.

A lot of people are working for pretty low wages and are gaining voice; along comes a whole political agenda promising 'free stuff' and 'stick it to the man', activists jump aboard and here we are.

We are lucky that the government stimulus package will help us with the immediate expenses, but that is not all we can do.On our side, we have called the office of the president, our state reps in the Federal government, our state elected officials, even our local officials to add our voice to the effort and push for some relief (soon!).

I have reached out to quite a few community banks but I am at the mercy of voice mailboxes right now as most of them are shut down.

Use Google Voice for phone number.

But there are lots of voices of support as well!

@Travis Duncan I run all my rental property management through gmail, google voice and google hangouts.

The necessary elements are: an express or implied agreement; a common purpose that the group intends to carry out; shared profits and losses; and each member’s equal voice in controlling the project.

Looking for something comparable to google voice for Canada.

When you speak with this or other neighbors, try keeping your phone in your pocket but using your phone's "voice recording" app feature and record all conversations.
