    Calgary is a great city! Awesome scenery and skiing nearby and the annual Calgary Stampede is something to see! I've made a few big moves and was always a bit apprehensive but it has always been worth it. You will gain some valuable life experience from being in a new place and having to meet...

    I'm planning to get back down to 185 lbs with a combination of exercise, supplements, and "lifestyle changes" (I hate the 'D' word). Basically, I'm planning to follow the Tim Ferris' Slow-Carb plan outlined in this Blog Post. He says you can lose 20 lbs by simply doing ONE of the three...

    I'm using an Android app cleverly called "calorie counter." It's free, and does a great job of totaling up calories, fat, carbs, and protein as well as tracking daily exercise and normal burn-rate to give you a net calorie surplus/deficit. Good luck to all!

    Kurt - from what I've gathered, you sir, can impose some serious self discipline. Folks, I wouldn't mess with this guy in a diet contest! What will be your preferred method of shedding the weight? Round two of the dollar-a-day diet? Or did you have any takers on the all-honey diet??

    Brootal, Great job on getting those two deals done! I understand exactly where you are coming from. Simply making money may not be a good enough reason to pursue something you don't enjoy. The good thing is that you have this skill set in your repertoire. With real estate, it's best to...

    Generally zero competition means there's not much money to be made in the niche. Rarely will you come up with an idea that has never been conceived of or tried before. A simple model is to emulate those that do it BEST and improve upon their process/marketing/sales etc. You certainly don't...

    A Question For MJ and others

    MINDSET 
    Great job in soaking up so much info at such a young age. I often feel the same way - that books continually repeat themselves, but I continue to read because I ALWAYS get at least one or two nuggets out of each book. The nugget usually makes the entire read worthwhile. Another thing is...

    Editing Videos from Flip Camera

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Thanks for the input guys! I wasn't able to download the Live Windows Movie Maker because it's not available for XP. Since I'm not too concerned about HD at this point, I ended up downloading the WinFF converter which allows you to convert multiple vids simultaneously from MP4 to WMV. It ran...

    Lighthouse, thanks! The program APPEARS to be working but it's still running over an hour later. I suppose they are bogged down with Christmas video uploads right now, but this isn't looking too promising for working with numerous videos. Do you use this? Russ, thanks to you as well! I...

    2010 Housing Collapse Will Be Worse Than 2008

    In a nutshell, that's how I closed a dozen properties in one year....Leveraging OPM. Combining bank LOC's with short-term and long-term private money is the key to building a rental portfolio quickly. Just be sure that you don't leverage those houses TOO hard when refi-ing. Leave yourself...

    Hey guys, I recently picked up a Flip HD camera and can't seem to import my videos to Windows Movie Maker to edit. Evidently it writes files to MP4 and I need to convert to WMV or something similar? Do I need to purchase special conversion software to do this? Thanks for your help!

    2010 Housing Collapse Will Be Worse Than 2008

    I averaged about a deal-a-month in 2008. 2009 was slower for two reasons: fewer REO's hitting the market and my bankers were taking their sweet-a$$ time. I deal with small portfolio lenders who are well-capitalized and even they were slowing me down. I still see REO's trickling onto the...

    In 2000, I was in the midst of college studying Chemical Engineering. Didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life other than "get a good job and live within my means" as I had been brought up to do. I graduated in 2002 and received the highest salary offer in my class. "Get a good...

    Technical Question

    When the "insert" key is next to the "delete" key, it can often times get pushed accidentally. I popped the insert key off of my old keyboard to keep this from happening.
