A doctor needs almost 10 years of post high school education while a real estate agent needs to take 3 courses...Don't get me wrong, I think top producing RE agents are valuable.

Please read some of MikeOH's posts on how tenants will place ice packs on the thermostat and have the windows open to get the heater to produce more heat.

I am dealing in just about the same scenario as Owen ( some income producing, some wholesale deals).

I'm looking for a software that can help me produce many real estate purchase offers (50+) per week.

My fear is that we underperform as various taxes and regulatory burdens kick in couple with a more *entitlement mentality* so that more people and businesses turn to the government for assistance rather than working hard and producing their own success.

But, on the $50k to $60k ARV properties they want to sell me, there is not enough left over to pay for the stolen copper or the body guard to keep me from getting mugged!

Having a healthy body is part of having a healthy mindset.

Teachers not wanting any required standards for actually teaching their students.Auto unions receiving higher pay to produce an inferior product.

Also, inspect clothing and body upon returning to your home.

I invest my money and my clients' money in short term high yield mortgage notes and both income producing commercial properties yielding 12 cap with appreciation potential or land purchased at 25% of previous sale value.I basically am doing the same thing as I have been doing the last 10 years except that my criteria has become a lot stricter.The rare buy that results in a quick large resale profit remain an elusive animal for me.
