., no complete rehab), thought mls was the best route. interesting. 1 out of every 95-100 offers...interesting stat. 2 rejected offers on the same property, so a long way to go haha. it's very tiring to look at so many properties only to find maybe 1 that falls in your criteria and then only to get rejected. the waterfall of looking at properties to getting an offer accepted is demotivating when i take a step back and look at that conversion rate (i'm a digital marketer full time so i look at it from that perspective). thanks for the responses!

A digital camera is also essential, as well as a notebook with a log sheet and printed maps of the farm area.

The US is printing money (or more accurately adding computer digits) at an alarming pace also.

My dad and grandfather have talked to me about REI during the Carter double digit inflation and the 80's S&L fallout.

I have launched my new Digital Marketing company - BizziBiz and Extreme Franchise Marketing.

If you are doing it quietly, I would suggest asking them if you can come and inspect the house again, and when you do, take plenty of digital photos.

When you consider that this man's advice came from having survived the double digit inflation of the 1970s (during which he lost a large commercial property on an adjustable rate commercial mortgage - but didn't quit), the recession and S&L fallout of the 1980s and the most recent meltdown and ever smaller boom and bust in between - this advice is not to be taken lightly. 80 years of work and an excellent legacy he has left.

If possible you can pick up digital thermostats for $30 that can run a schedule that keeps it cool only during the hottest days.

If some people are right double digit inflation is on the way.

I saw an opportunity on Craigslist the other day where this company will pay you $10 per abandoned/vacant property you submit to them via their website w/ digital pictures.
