I'm too tired, I should be in bed. 

It is nice to get home tonight before dark and being so tired I fall asleep at the computer. 

I'm Ed from eastern oklahoma.Currently I own no property other than my personal residence,of which I currently owe around 13k(worth ~150k)I will be entirely debt free around the beginning of next year and i'm interested in real estate and RE investment.I'm 29,married,with 2 children(1 severely disabled).I currently work several jobs,Ford dealer tech by day,part time autozoner at night and I have a small side business programming GM fuel injection between those two.Honestly,i've always been interested in auto's etc.. but this will be the second time in my adult life i've decided I don't want it to be a career.I'm considering quitting my day job for Ford and getting my RE license on the side.This is for several reasons.I've always been interested in real estate,I love any kind of new education,frankly i'm tired of my day job and would like to try something different(even if it's drastic).Depending on how all the financials work out with AIG,income shouldn't be a problem should I quit one job to concentrate on RE education.

The problem is that "Mom" is a bit more capable than "sis" believes, she was just tired of having to jack around with her!"

I think the folks just got tired of waiting.

Whos' to say that laid off employees from the big 3 won't be hired at those plants and the makers of bumpers, tires, fenders, etc will still be needed.

If you keep beating up on a company for too long, you eventually tire public opinion and create more sympathizers.

You not only get probate deals, you also get tired land lords, divorce cases, and folks that want to get rid of their vacation property.

I've used weeks in my Cancun rentals for tires, dentist, chiropractor, subcontractors of every type, restaurant script, landscape maint, autowork, professional photography, bookkeeping, other vacation rentals, surveys, computer, guns/ammo, printing, and appraisals to name a few.

I have heard advice on BiggerPockets saying that some investors will call on Craigslist listings in the rental category with hopes that the owner is tired/frustrated with the property and is willing to sell at a low price.
