The person asked may feel bad turning you down, or feel put out by you're bringing a financial aspect into what was a purely social relationship.  

@Jaspaul Gill It is a great meetup and today's theme is  pure networking at the event, so should be fun.

@Emily Allen As a purely MF investor, I found @Bruce Ailion's advice thought-provoking.  

I finally get the call on the right number for installation on the 13th, and the first delivery date they have available is the 28th. 18 days from purchase to installation, and that's if nothing goes wrong.You can't do business with these people, pure and simple.

@Michael Henry From a pure outsiders business prospective no :/ I am not sure what your current job is but taking a 180 career change will kill your chance of getting financing.

Brandon Turner: Of the pure REI books it was, so far, one of the top 2 for me.

I'd prefer to distance myself from the sales side of it and purely invest.

The eviction was purely based on a tenant at will situation in which she would not move out when given the proper notice.I think she kept paying because she thought it would look better to the judge but because she was a tenant at will she didn't really have a choice.Also - if you end up filing for an eviction don't go to the housing court go to the closest local district court as they are supposedly less tenant friendly.

However, investing is purely a numbers game...emotions can skew your thought process and override your logic, so don't let it happen.I'm just on the south side of Austin if I can be of any help...just reach out to me.
