When I told my adult children that I was not the stimulus package, I thought I was joking...

Having kids come over and wreck the house when I was gone; taking my food and throwing it all over the kitchen and not cleaning it up... and more.  

I need to boost my income at least $1200 fast when I start investing cause I currently have insurance and food stamps through the government and will lose them when I make more.

Looking at the DC/NOVA region specifically, if you haven't checked out this bigger pockets podcast yet, it can be pretty helpful and offer some food for thought. https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

I think I'm leaning toward land packaging to start my development career.

That's what I would consider a bullying/gorilla tactic.Invariably, a Starbucks in a college food court/student union or strip mall location is invariably an anchor, or at least a destination business.Well, I guess they do it "''cause they can."

I’m certain people have to have food, water, shelter.

Food for thought.Good luck!

I recommend you review a few servicer short sale packages and get familiar with the needed items.

Obviously being a cashier at a fast food chain will have its limits on investing so anyone who wants to get serious in this market should have an above average income to make things possible.
