I started out wholesaling junkers to other local investors by driving close neighborhoods for vacant and run-down houses, knocking on neighbors doors and searching courthouse records to locate owners.The secret here, is to warm up to the owner but not being afraid to make an offer that you think will make them mad.

It's the same philosophy that the stock guys sell to the beginning stock investors....But, the fact is...More wealth is made running a business... and then reinvesting the proceeds...It's just a faster train...It's safe to say you don't agree with me and it's safe to say I don't agree with you....So, let it go... and we'll agree to disagree....

I will be asigning the contract, and they' aren't coming for closing.I guess to be on the safe side.

It drive me nuts.

At the very least, go do some driving.

This way, they feel safe you can't take the money and the bank sees your name on the account.

Not a speculative recommendation, just a good safe return that is very liquid to get in and out of - simple taxes as it is not an MLP or anything (although check out AMJ if you like MLP's).

I pay $50 for a cell phone so that I don't have to drive all over town!

The "stimilus" package has nothing to due with stimulating the economy itself but is really the governments best guess of how they can prevent having to spend this money later.If they were to let things be more companies would have folded (or at least called it quits) and the government unemployment rolls would have exploded so drastically that they would have easily have doubled the monies they gave away in unemployment claims, food stampt, and all those other programs.This is what I believe is the real drive behind this and the government is going to get a little upset that their ploy did not work and take it out on those of us that have found a way to make money.

I look forward to our future correspondance.Mr Johnson, I swear I've seen you driving around town (not in that little number you have on site but another car with plates that say "motiv8d" or something of the sort).
