Do not be afraid of failing, within failure lies winning and success.

Am I the only one in the world who was cheering for the young team to pull out the win?

But, I'd be lying if I said that my poker winnings didn't somewhat contribute to things like our ability to become self-employed, our kids' college funds, etc.The important thing to remember -- and that a lot of kids who jumped into online poker the past few years -- is that playing poker for a living is nothing more than just another job.

:))Now that you mentioned Megan, I believe I did see her play and win!

You lose if that happens, even if you end up winning any judgment.

So I'm doing a lot of research regarding buying notes, haven't bought one yet, but it looks like it could be a bit of fun.I was checking out some loans on various websites (I'm sure these aren't great deals, same with finding house on websites) as a way to familiarize myself with different aspects of loans, I figured I'd stick to performing loans, could just hold for a decent return, or maybe tweak them a bit and create a little win-win situation.Then I'm seeing these heavily discounted 1st lien NPN's, now I can see a great opportunity in modifying these, allowing someone who wants to to remain in their house for a lower monthly, and since the note is heavily discounted creating some nice cash flow for my money.

I always try and negotiate a win-win situation with whomever I do business with.

Many times agents will encourage their buyers to offer way over the asking price in order to win the bidding war.

I got a degree in busines at college which emphasized real estate.  

I'm trying to think of a win/win but not sure how to structure it.
