(This is a long sentence.)We’re going to be gifted with a healthcare plan we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t,which puportedly covers at least 10 million more people, without adding a single new doctor,but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it,passed by a congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes,with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted social security and medicare,all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that’s broke.

Sounds like you have been given an amazing gift and are ready to piss it away on lifestyle.

(Second house purchased no inspection.)My mom went to an auction at the closing of a high-end nursery/gift shop and her friend bought something for higher than the original retail price sticker on the bottom of the item (discovered in the car on the way home).

If you see value in an event where many of your favorite successful BP members can teach you live, and are there for personal networking and interacting, then it is worth going to.

As a gift to you for our 8th BiggerPockets Birthday, we've killed off the influence system.I know several people who will be very happy about this, and extend an invitation to them to return to the site.

I have upgraded the mother board as far as it can go and have the registry ultra clean.I took out the junk string keys myself.The cost of putting a new mother board in just makes sense to buy new.I stayed with it so long because I just love my Windows XP.Windows ME,Vista etc. are the crap systems between XP and Windows 7 which are the better Os's for Microsoft.I do not do heavy gaming etc. so the computer sales person was saying for my business and I 5 should be fine but not to go with an I3 processor as it would lag some with multiple tasks ongoing.I will go out and look today.Staples has a hundred dollar coupon off of already clearance prices for Windows 7 loaded systems and Best Buy I have get 50 dollars gift card for any purchase over 500 so I am torn

But granted, you don't have my experience, you might have my gift of gab, maybe not, it's easy for me, your first one will likely be scary for you at some point.

Of course I don't have the job yet, but the real estate market nearby is of course a factor in which job I take, as commuting several hours a day to and from the right house or buying an affordable but less exciting house in a less than favorite area because it is close to work is a decision anyone with a 9-5 must face.

Mike,One of my favorites is look for vacant houses and track down the owner and try to work out a deal.
