There is a property that really caught my eye last week.

But to call it an LBO and not have people smirk or roll their eyes, will involve commercial transactions of at least middle market level (anywhere from $10m-$25m up to say $100m).

I drive through there at least twice a month out of sheer curiosity every time I go to Little Tokyo - just to eye ball the transition.Those homeless encampments in downtown LA are (without sounding insensitive) are living on borrowed time. 

I would have to say, hands down, that Rich Dad Poor Dad has been the most influential as it opened my eyes to the myriad opportunities that exist in this business.  

Hi all,I have been putting an eye on this property for a number of years.

Its another (unbiased) set of eyes on your deal.

Or maybe 3.75% 30 year mortgages are the new normal, forever... who knows. ( I sure don't)My only advice is this: If you buy another house, buy with an eye toward making it a rental.

so, couple months ago i settled multiple unsecured credit cards and now finally they are reporting as closed (by the consumer) and settled (for the amount agreed; a few say for less than the full amount, though).my fico/credit score is still terrible, low, though, at 528. last year, it was in the 700s but then i splurged at home depot and realized i may as well just default on all those credit cards and let them go to collections cuz i heard they settle for around half. besides i was going 'blind' (severe postcapsularhaze) for some time after a traumatic head-on injury and even after eye surgery in both eyes so my credit score was the least of my concerns.anyways i'm wondering now that i do not have nor will i open any new lines of credit (no more credit cards, no more cell phone contracts, no mortgage, no auto loan, etc) indefinitely, how long might it take for my credit as far as 'score' to be back up to qualifying say for an FHA?

Still, this often fails and I have to keep a close eye, but at least there is a fighting chance...Dawn is absolutely right.

I can almost do it with my eyes closed.
