    Fell into the Video Game Trap

    HOT! 
    I still like the old Battlefront II. Haven't played it in 10 years but I could play it for hours on end if I still had it.

    Coming to Scottsdale, Great places to eat?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Mostly anything works. Wine bar, sushi, steakhouse, etc. are all good to us. I guess something a little more upscale might be more of what we are looking for. Are there one or two dinner places that are definitely worth a try?

    Gym is counter-productive to work. Or is it?

    HEALTH 
    This is what I was going to say. There is no such thing as "balance." There are only priorities. Everything else is not important. I've done the Miracle Morning and it should be required reading on this forum. The author, Hal Elrod, was actually how I found out about MJ Demarco and The...

    I just left my girlfriend of 3 years, for business. Am I a selfish prick?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Be obsessed or be average. If she is not obsessed or doesn't let you be obsessed and wants to hold you down in an "average" situation then get rid of her. Next time, though, you better clearly state your expectations to the new girl who comes along. If you want to be obsessed about business...

    Dead-End Sh*t Jobs ... Yours?

    NOTABLE! 
    I had a literal shit job once. I have a degree in BioChemistry and had a lot of research experience. Got married and moved to a new city where the only position I could find was in Animal Science research, specifically equine (horses) nutrition, at a big university. Our department were given...

    I've been doing some free help for a neighbor. I told him I didn't want any payment because I enjoy helping out. He surprised me yesterday with a gift that is the literal nectar of the gods.

    Best Whiskey you've ever had

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I lived in Lexington for 5 years so we acquired quite a taste for the 'ole bourbon. For anyone interested, it's a good idea for a getaway trip to go through KY on the bourbon tour. I would argue against going during the KY Derby and instead go in April or October when Keeneland is running if you...

    How can i become a real estate developer??

    REAL ESTATE 
    True. There are barriers that keep the small time investors away. If you have the cash to survive for a few years without revenue and can overcome all the B.S. problems that arise then do it. If I had the capital then I would do it. I'm just not to that level yet. The housing inventory is so low...

    How can i become a real estate developer??

    REAL ESTATE 
    I would add it takes a lot patience and guts to develop. Many times you won't realize any profits for a couple years and you have to fight battles with city managers, code inspectors, bad press, and neighbors who think they are entitled to tell you what to do with your land because they're...

    Critique my residential real estate checklist

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm a big numbers guy and work in residential real estate. So, with that said this is a completely unnecessary quantitative analysis. None of those line items will give you cash flow and it's teetering toward action faking. Here are the numbers that are important: Purchase price Down payment...

    Real Estate.

    Oh and my advice. Do not invest in coastal markets. You will get burned. Vancouver is a bubble ready burst. People on household incomes of $80,000 buying $1,000,000 homes in Vancouver. It's a bit ridiculous. Lots of Chinese money has inflated the Vancouver, Seattle, and San Francisco markets...

    Real Estate.

    Selling real estate and mortgage brokers are in the sales business. Both are saturated and there is high turnover. You have to be willing to commit to it for at least 3 years before you start getting cranked up and business is booming. That means you will have months where there is no paycheck...

    Building a real estate money system in USA or Latvia [Comparison]

    I wouldn't factor appreciation into your returns. You don't get that money unless you sell or refinance. I would just focus your calculations on your yearly cash-on-cash returns and monthly cash flow. When it comes to the US. The best cities to invest in real estate are the boring ones...

    Giving and Taking Feedback on (and off) This Forum

    PEOPLE 
    One of things I like about this forum is the feedback being poignant, harsh, unapologetic, but necessary. As long as the feedback is on topic to the discussion then that is what makes the forum unique. Sometimes we need an outlet that tells us to cut the sh*t and get back on track of the right...
