You could probably expect about 2% of the option purchase price as the option premium downpayment.

I was expecting more.

I wont say deals like that arent out there but I would expect it to be some smaller numbers.

I will add that you always MUST have a contract with your contractors that clearly explains what will be done and all expectation on how it will be done and in what timeframe.

His investment in my venture is the lease discount (I’m expecting to lease at $19 – $22 per square foot) and a business network with money contacts to invest in my firm.

I went out looked at the house and sent an email to the agent 2 days later that I had submitted for a 401K loan because the refi was taking longer than expected.

In our smaller city I should be able to buy and rehab my first house for under 40K if I find the right deal, and expect between 5 and 10K profit after expenses.

You can't just buy something and expect it to make a profit for you.I personally love all of Arizona and each city has its benefits and beauties.

Having dual citizenship is great, but people shouldn't try to change the culture of one country to fit their habits from another country.I have visited and lived many parts of the Americas, and had many friends who have done the same in Europe, and in every situation, if a citizen of the USA were to expect everything to be done in English and well as the native language of the country (though recognizing it is like this in most big cities - but definately not the smaller cities), then the native people would be outraged.If people want to immigrate to the USA, I have no problem with it, I would probably strive to do the same, but we shouldn't change our culture to fit someone else's (such as translating the our Natinal Anthem into Spanish - I was not a fan of that.)

Ken,In my opinion the name of your site should be a reflection of the type of marketing that you expect to drive traffic to your sight.
