Now, properties are still avaliable at discounted prices, everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and throwing caution to the wind.

But, you don't want to take a chance on losing out on that great home run because you were "too busy".Don't throw leads away.

I don't have time to live in the fine print, so if you throw fine print at me in some attempt to slip something past me- or you do the same to others; if you do wrong and justify and rationalize it rather than admit it, and repair the damage- you're out. to name just a few things...

Throw up a few bandit sings in the area, and post a few adds on CL.
