Now if Oil was the interest of the US, I could have lived with that if they just were honest about it..Originally posted by Mike M: You want to see REAL WASTED LIFES, look at ABORTION.

Came across this article from www.jenman.com.au about "The American Snake-Oil Show" - http://www.jenman.com.au/news_report.php?

My nature is that I worry alot about getting things done and getting my investment back quickly.

., a weight hanging from a spring, we talk about "natural frequencies".

Now, I know right from wrong, and I would never take the risk of using that data nefariously (awesome salary, beautiful family) but I am naturally curious about what one could do with that info.

It's human nature.

Those who are set to gain an unreasonable amount or the nature of the gain reflects a conflict of interests and thereby is not in your best interests.

There is a natural drop because many families don't want to move kids after summer ends and school starts, but winter?

Thanks Jon,But let me go into more detail before I get to far. the property "was" worth about $115k. the 30% loan has a balance of $20'ish but will sell it to me for $4k cash. right now... but I can't get a reply from the bank that owns the "rest of the house" I know it's "upsidedown" right now. it should sell for about $80k but it's on an acre close to the airport in Houston and I can get a good rent price from it....I contract to an Oil Co. international and a 2 bedroom close to the air port will have a lot of potential for me.
