The Nazis talking about taking over the government and turning every African and Middle Eastern immigrant in Greece into soap.So I don't know what you're looking for to feel fulfilled, Frank, but I sure as hell know why I'm in this, and it doesn't have to do with self-actualization or my need for love in any way.

I never solicit or even mention that I am a full time broker.

However, based on some communications with my immigration lawyer the nature of fix and flips involves some degree of conducting business which would be a violation of my visa status (which allows me to only work for my current employer).So I am trying to come up with a plan to start the investments without breaching any immigration restrictions.

Half .. no Karl , your being generous . id say three quarters lol another reason I like immigrants in my Erie apartments
