The Rio Grande River has never been a source of drinking water.

We used to cruise a lot and we had to cancel one last minute because my wife's mom had an emergency and was in ICU for months, we didn't have insurance and lost a few grand.

This is where most small time wholesalers operate making a few grand per deal. 

excellent idea.another idea is get some cheap labor , cheap laminate flooring, and some elbow greece to just replace the rental flooring from carpet to hardwood for the absentee landlord for a grand or two and call it day.

I lost a few hundred grand in a BS company in 2008/2009.

Hi all,I have 3 units in a house in Grand Rapids, MI.

I thought I had a good deal until that grand reveal :) 

Projects range from new water lines @ the Grand Canyon to new military bases in Djibouti, Africa.My wife and I bought our first investment property about 7 years ago.  

SLU has also gotten a stretch along S Grand blighted, which allows them to redevelop that area and is another big upcoming improvement to the stretch of land between Choteau and I-44, where Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital is.The employers you mentioned (Monsanto, Boeing, etc) are engines that help the county areas a bit more as they're along more substantial inter-city travel corridors (I-70, I-170, I-270, etc).

That truly is the grand beauty of WHY each and everyone of us are on here (in my humble opinion) is to learn from others that have been there and done that.
