Wine World Estates  number one label was Beringer and then another 30 or so labels.. right around latter part of 07 when I was spending the winter in La quinta he has an estate there.. we were at dinner one night and I said hey how is this down turn in the economy going to affect wine sales.. he said no worries... well that was not true.. folks just kept buyer cheaper wine.. so that about 2010 the top seller was 2 buck chuck.So in my mind folks that rent in the C B class they may drink wine but I don't thing they buy it and store it.. they buy and drink... so in my mind waste of money. 

I remember Ron saying once "Flipping a house is easy, its running a business that's hard"  Pretty true.  

Damn - you're pulling a true local spot out of your back pocket!  

I like your initial sentence about the fact that your first is the best because of what you learn and not necessarily because of the profit…that is so true.  

This is not true for all of the platforms, but is the case for the majority of them from what I have seen2.  

I service the entire county, but Downtown (92101) is my area of expertise and where I spend my marketing dollars.About 10% of my yearly business comes from a couple of FLIP investors, so I'm always on the lookout for projects in my county that I can make beautiful again and sell!

In it, he talks about people being motivated to achieve more not by money, but by a desire to work autonomously, achieve mastery, and have purpose.I know this is true for me - once I've got my kids fed, I look for work that gives me those three.  

FHA Inspection called for egress window which was a surprise so to make it quick we upped the purchase price to $196000 to cover the $2000 price for egress window.Total rent is $2700 and my mortgage is $1226 so once all operating expenses were added in I am cashflowing about $950 which for my area is awesome since most multifamiles are at 6-8%  Cap Rate and my property was 11%.I financed using FHA loan putting only 3.5% down because my plan is to move into a unit for a couple of months do renovations to get the rent up and then buy another multifamily and repeat.So there you have it and I am very excited to continue building my portfolio but I know and will reiterate the point that you can spend all your time learning and dreaming but once you make that first step it suddenly turns into you running and making your dreams come true.  

Jay it is true, Your Warriors did squeeze out a win against my Cavaliers 3rd string squad.

I highly recommend the Book on Flipping Houses by J Scott who is a big contributor to BiggerPockets and a true real estate pro.
