    Investment Real Estate "For dummies"

    REAL ESTATE 
    In most motivated situations, time is NOT on your side and offering to close quickly (I'm talking days - not weeks) is essential in most cases. I'm not saying that hiring an inspector, etc., is NOT something to do, but have one on standby at a moments notice. Likewise for a general contractor...

    Reason 101 why BofA Sucks!

    REAL ESTATE 
    I won't go into another tirade about my experiences (and thoughts) on BofA, only to say two things: 1. My home loan got transferred to them back in August and they STILL don't have it all settled. My wife and I have called them about 20 times now and they claim they still haven't gotten the...

    Great Q&A session with a self-made restaurant/bar owner

    Bingo! It seems whenever you read about someone's success, "hard work" is always part of the foundation.

    First couple of steps for website?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    One of the interesting things about human nature isn't that new content is necessarily always beneficial for the reader each time, but that it is new. I had a human factors engineering professor in college who said that a your product/service should always feed on a person's hunger for...

    Why franchising is not the best move

    Wow. One-third of those 15 were pizza franchises.

    The Business Idea Thread

    IDEA 
    kurtyordy - I think saying why you aren't pursuing the idea is an excellent idea in itself. To push the envelope further, I wouldn't even mind a place where ideas can not only be shared/collaborated on, but also where disjointly-minded individuals can seek help/partnerships. IOW, I have an...

    Saudis drop WTI contract - repercussions?

    INVESTING 
    I received a message in my inbox this am from a guy who runs a local wealth building club. He rarely sends emails out to members, so when I get one I know its probably big news. I am also not in the commodity trading business (let alone oil), but it sounds like this is big news regarding the...

    Get Busy Living, Or Get Busy Dying

    MINDSET 
    Amen. I am reminded of a quote in the movie Con Air by the con played by Steve Buschemi: What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering...

    CC Fees Coming - Even For Good Customers

    My wife called me yesterday and said they had a segment on the Today show regarding fees banks, etc., will start charging for CC users. The "surprising" aspect is that it's really targeting those people who use CC's frugally. For instance: * If you pay your CC balance in full each month don't...

    Should one (1) Parent Lose Custody because they smoke cigarettes?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Re: Should one (1) Parent Lose Custody because they smoke cigaret hakrjak - I hear you. I've been down that path as well (I wonder if we aren't twins sometimes - LOL), and you are right about the gender bias that exists in Family Court. No penalty for making false accusations, but it can just...

    Should one (1) Parent Lose Custody because they smoke cigarettes?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Re: Should one (1) Parent Lose Custody because they smoke cigaret This is interesting and really hits on some actual constitutional issues regarding child custody/support post-divorce. Say the parents are NOT divorced, but one (or both) smoke - will a judge order the smoking parent(s) to stop...

    Flipping Cars

    Good info, Brootal. I would caution that sometimes it can be an over-saturated market. For example, there are many areas where I live where you can find used car sales along the side of the road. One place in particular has 4-5 such shops in a row. Every 2-3 months, one of the places will...

    How I Made My Millions

    MINDSET 
    You are correct. The host of the show said (something to the affect) that he used some of the money to do something he always wanted: build a scientific laboratory.

    How I Made My Millions

    MINDSET 
    Did anyone happen to watch this show on CNBC last night (Sunday)? I caught a very small snippet which talked about the man who invented the Super Soaker water gun. He didn't actually make/market it himself, but rather licensed the idea to the company and made a profit of it's sales. It has...

    Wired for procrastination?

    My wife has a picture in one of the rooms of our house, which I hadn't even really looked at before that says "The future is just a successive series of Nows". Chances are if a person isn't handling things "Now" they never will.

    The year's biggest bailouts

    INVESTING 
    <rant>Words cannot describe how much I loathe this company. I won't go into detail of how much they have been screwing with my accounts (which were originally with other lenders, but are now serviced through them). Just yesterday, I found out that they are saying WE are delinquent on our...
