The only people that go with oil (usually) are either those without access to natural gas or those that have a really cheap/free source of oil - ie service stations.

Any one have a clue where I can get cheap Multis in Chicagoland with low taxes?

I'm in car shows and car clubs, but I believe I should trade my car in for a cheap ice up truck so I can save money faster for my first investment property.

Becausea) I can support the increased mortgage payment from that property alone, not to mention by "subsidizing" it via the cash flow from other properties and income sources if need beb) the value currently allows me to do so; maybe no longer 10 months down the road andc) because I now have an additional 100k sitting in my bank account that I can use to scoop up a good deal if and when one comes by.This money is cheap.

If you go a tile company ask for what they have on close out where you can get a better tile for cheap. 

@jason dale the kc houses you see advertised that are cheap are in areas I personally would never buy in.  

I have thought for some time that FHA loans are too cheap to get into.

Tampa, I would take time off from the ships and build cheap houses in Brazil in the Oil Capital of Brazil, Macae.

Just wondering what would be ideal middle ground as I really don't want to cheap out and also this is at best a B- neighborhood.

Downward markets. less equity, but if you have lots of cash flow you can buy up empty boxes on the cheap. for buy hold investors it would seem if you are not selling, a crash would be a great opportunity to scale if you are well balanced with great cash flow.
