I didn't even have a desktop until '96 and still don't have a laptop, or wireless internet, or high speed internet either.At the end of the year I make a new folder for each property.

Im a ittle bit of a modern day drifter... chasing those deals and all.

(i also got a free laptop out of that deal with the school unless i fail but i wont) hehe. anyhow i believe i have my head on straight and have a lot to learn. and until i found out about investing in general i have not been very interested in really doing anything for a career.

Real estate investing strategies are so numerous it's hard to "pick" one.the problem with "picking" a real estate investment strategy is they're not like mutual funds. to be a real estate investor, you've got think like a businessman. a businessman or entrepreneur, is a control freak - they want to figure everything out and have the satisfaction of control.real estate investment strategies do not match the modern-day "investor"...people with 401k's who "pick" a portfolio are not investors. heck, the portfolio managers are not entrepreneurs, they're employees of a HUGE company and they manage these gigantic funds with so many different companies, it's no wonder there's no money in mutual funds.real estate investment strategies involve looking at CASH FLOW.

I plug the modem into my cigarette lighter and I can pull up comps, tax information, contact information, deed information, and email from my laptop while I am out looking at property.

(Not much, small hick town) This city is striving for modernization, but unable to reach it because of one to many rednecks.I live in south Florida, where modernization/ culture are keen.

The internet, phone and satellite communications, modern airlines reducing travel times and distances to what can sometimes amount to a long daily commute, it all helps to make the world a smaller place and enables us to do business globally not just locally.

Hi allI'm planning to buy a laptop to use at home, office and in the car to look at real estate deals.

I run my business from home office; therefore, very often you can find me with laptop, coffee and ashtray full of cigarette butts at 3 AM.

I like wrought iron and rustic furniture myself, so I probably wouldn't like the modern furniture you would most likely be putting in your pre-decorated houses.
