The basket of funds was some form of precautionary measure used to prevent idiots from losing everything and blaming the company for not having a retirement.I have a good understanding of the financial markets and think I am pretty grounded in my decision.

Right now I am doing my homework phase, and learning as much as I can about purchasing bank owned properties.

Buy yourself a ground tester for 2 bucks and make sure it lights up correctly.Just connecting a ground wire to the box will not ground the plug.

Its often just inside the house, so it you can follow that line back until it exits the house or disappears into the ground, you should find a shutoff valve.

It will wear you out if you do not stand your ground.

First I’d like to thank you for welcoming me.Like I said I’m a real estate broker and with the housing market the way it is I noticed more and more foreclosures so I looked around for a forum about foreclosures and found Biggerpockets, the information that is discussed on this site is exactly what I was looking for but what I Like about it the most is the positive nature everyone seems to have anyhowI’ve been an agent since Feb. 07 but my back ground until then has been new builds and remodeling (construction) my interest in homes started along time ago but know I’m getting away from the physical laborand I want to understand homes a little bit differently.I'm not sure just yet what type of REI but so far I’m trying to get a general understanding of it all but, I do, and will have questions.Any questions feel free to ask, thank you

We’re in a joint venture, so credit can be given to either and the egos will still be grounded.

There is plenty of common ground.
