School Ratings matter, and always will, because people who can afford to be choosy simply can't bear the thought of sending their precious child to a less than stellar school and having the kid turn out dumber because of it lol.For someone that has the option to home school, I think it's a far better option and allows you to get the best of both worlds.

I will be moving down to Dallas, TX  at the end of August as i have accepted a job offer there and plan on living there for the foreseeable future.

To invest in anything well, including real estate, stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, precious metals, (consistently over long periods of time) the prudent investor buys low and sells high...or what I like to say is "cheap" and "expensive."  

Getting kicked by all sides for that precious small slice of the deal is, I am told, no fun at all, so I try and be extra nice in demeanor to my brokers.

I’m in the Augusta area so if you have any questions please let me know!

I can't wait to see what that opportunity will be.We have 8 units purchased in the last 3 years in Augusta GA (great area).

Hopefully connecting with Mark in August as well!

@Precious Thompson, well... everyone's situation is different, but generally, you want to find an owner with lots of equity, or even completely paid off.Next is really talking to them and digging into their situation. - Why are they selling?

THEN they are shook out of their commodities (precious metals for example) by selling them into a deflationary economy to cover their interest payments or margin calls on other assets.  

I have only ever ran into this problem in NY with really low loan amounts (when working for a precious lender)- $30k Loans - never anything near a $100k Loan.
