Wade Kulesa Is Dave Ramsey correct? Anyone still around after 10 years?
4 August 2020 | 177 replies
A) It's not exactly what he said orB) It's BSThe big guys 25+ years are still all quite fat and happy with a ton of debt and units.I'm not doubting Dave at all, since about 80% of people mis-handle debt and a cash-only budget is what they need.However, if you understand the power of using OPM money (ie you borrow o$1 at x% and get a return on it >>x%) it is a major tool in growth.Now if you're 60 and unwinding, I understand.

John Romero Forcing tenants to pay rent online
3 October 2020 | 58 replies
I remember before an investor was burned using pay rents online.They had it where a tenant could pay and also could deposit money or wire money in.What happened is the tenant sent in 300 instead of the 600 owed into the landlord's account.The tenant argued in court that the landlord accepted partial payment and was going to work with them on an arrangement.The judge sided with the tenant.So the moral of the story if you are going to do this is only a set amount is allowed to be paid with no partials.If they try a partial it should reject the payment.Of course you can work out a payment with them IF YOU want to but you want to control that and not the tenant.On paying cash when I was 17 I was running low on cash.I went to the gas station at night and put about 11 in gas in the car.I had the money in coins quarters,dimes,nickels and pennies.It wasn't rolled.The gas station employee refused the money and I told him he had to take it.
