I hate bidding up property at auction in hopes that someone else will pay higher later.I LOVE when no one else has money, banks are not lending and no one bids on stuff because the market is crap.

The gun range if you are renting doesn't want cheap crap ammo running through their guns and messing them up.This is why they require you buy their ammo.You can always try to see which ammo they require and buy that brand before you go in.The smaller ammo is cheaper BUT will also NOT stop an attacker unless you hit vital points whereas a larger caliber bullet will do more damage even if you don't have a direct hit to a vital target.So there are tradeoffs.If you don't practice with a gun and use it frequently it is a waste of time buying one.Most avenues you aren't allowed to carry so need to know how to use your body for defense FIRST before going to external weapons.I would get him some knife training as well as that is more prevelant than guns.

I know the sales pitch is that real estate is "passive income" and it's a load of horse crap - unless you're sitting on a pile of cash and need some place to put it.

Then call the lead company back up and complain to them that the leads they gave you were crap (if they were actually crap, and you can verify this by the meticulous conversation log you kept).

I'm not pulling all that crap up for someone here....sorry.

BUT...you lose far less often on deals that go south, turn out like crap, sit idle on the market, and so on.

Total wannabe crap.

That is absolute crap.

CRAP...IS THIS YOUR INVENTION?

There are good ones to be found but you have to sort through alot of crap.
