Either way, their story probably will be nothing like what they were told it would be right before they wrote a check and threw last year's salary away.I realize that I can't save these people from themselves or from the circling sharks (gurus) that are so anxious to siphon away their money.

I watch the guys on Shark Tank and Mark Cuban and wonder where was I when they taught about all those ways of making businesses work?

I’ve lost hot water at least 40 times mid shower, over the last 10weeks an estimate I did not write down until recently They are coming back this week to rescale again, it’s a automatic continual hot water unit not a tank, suppose to give on demand hot water.

Also, I'd need a septic tank and a well dug -- what are the costs associated with that?

I was watching an interview with Kevin O'leary (Sharktank) where he was making the same observation to a young investor and how he personally wouldn't leverage as much in real estate as that investor was doing; however, he ended the conversation by saying that we do invest in what we understand and that investor, that Kevin was talking to, had been a real estate agent before so he understood that form of investing.We shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket, but I would definitely target real estate as a prime place to put your finances for long term wealth and growth.  

(And monthly)If you do not do this, you would need to empty the holding tank (bathroom waste) frequently and also run an extension cord for power.

I will tell you that the sharks are already out there.

Due to recent hurricanes...I got to pondering looking back when New Orleans was hit by Hurricane Katrina there were short-term disruptions to gas prices especially since Houston is a major think tank for the metro industry.

I feared the agent or seller could take the money through some clause in the contract like a shark.

I've never bought a property with a septic tank and my realtor is recommending a septic system inspection, which I totally agree with.
