:mrgreen: I agree with you that other markets are a better option for me, someone with minimal savings and lower income.

I'm just saying that a little diversification can be good and I know in my own case, my luck with appreciation (and luck is what it was) has made me much more money than if I had bought and held a good cash-flowing property with minimal appreciation for many, many years.

The whole point of not going to my closings was that I didnt have to waste time going and I didnt have to collect a check that would time to clear...I could get instant money.....Guess not.

It's a waste of money for rentals which will end up with some loser breaking the window anyway.Finally, I never pay the heat in my rentals.Mike

Not sure, but it sounds like he's tired of people wasting his time (http://forums.biggerpockets.com/viewtopic.php?

Matt is right, waste of time buying retail when you can find much better deals elsewhere.

If I had known the cost of the cd, I would have walked out right then b/c I wasted a whole afternoon finding out how to use a program that I will not purchase.

I have to be creative like I never have been...I have to approach strangers out of the blue to get the information I need to move forward, to pursue properties that a lot of the time are a waste of my time...but that is the nature of what I do.

Even if you have time to waste why do anything else UNLESS you happen to enjoy the activity.2.

If you have no intention on getting into the REI business, you are wasting your time.
