    EXECUTION 
    Congrats!! Have you thought about calling up and recording an audio interview with folks like this rather than just emailing your questions over? Generally speaking, "Video > Audio > Print" in terms of perceived value to your readers/subscribers. Getting some audio and video interview success...

    Best SUV!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I guess plenty of people have had bad experiences with Range Rovers, but mine has been great. People always ask if I have a lot of problems with it, which I haven't. Seems like something the company needs to address PR-wise....

    The Time Machine

    REAL ESTATE 
    Yeah, by partnering with someone. That's how I got my start. You may also come across some good "subject-to" deals in your marketing efforts where you can just take over a property subject-to the existing financing = zero down. These are pretty plentiful today as lots of folks are happy to...

    Great job on taking lots of ACTION! Sounds like you're very dedicated, and that's exactly what it takes. I've never been a big fan of wholesaling, but that's where everyone says to get your start. I see so many new wholesalers getting discouraged in this market though....stay focused on your...

    Your favorite watches

    OFF-TOPIC 
    When I see that much ice on someone's wrist, I usually figure it was picked up at one of those mall kiosks. Being from Montana and also a watch lover, I really like the Bozeman Watch Company....they've got some great looking automatic pieces...

    Advertising via Postcards - Great Resource

    True enough....got to focus on the bottom line. I'm working my local area via business owners that I know and hopefully word-of-mouth advertising. The post cards are going to out-of-state businesses in certain niches that I am targeting. I figured it was worth $28 to contact 75 businesses...

    Brootal, Your goals sound much like my own. Some suggestions based on the path that I have taken: read all the investing/business/mind-set books you can get your hands on. When you're in the car, listen to those books on CD - check out SimplyAudio.com - it's like Netflix for audio books. I...

    FAIL of the year: YouTube - Bugatti Veyron towed from saltwater lagoon Some dude drove his Bugatti straight into a lagoon just south of Houston. Ouch. Someone actually caught the crash live too (and he thought is was a lambo!): The Galveston County Daily News

    Advertising via Postcards - Great Resource

    Sounds like you're looking for a graphic designer? If so, you could probably get it done fairly cheap at elance.com. You can get dang near anything done cheap over there. My wife is also a graphic designer, and she works with several printing companies that are reasonable. PM me if you want...

    Advertising via Postcards - Great Resource

    I'm actually using it for some internet marketing efforts. Have been working with niche online/offline businesses to optimize local search and help customers find them rather than their competitors. Another one of my many irons in the fire!

    Can you spot the opportunity?

    As for cap rate on a deal like this, I would say NO, typical calculations do not apply. With severely under performing assets, you have to make some realistic assumptions about what you can do to turn the property around and get the best possible price and terms from the seller. I recall...

    Can you spot the opportunity?

    Yves, I think this could potentially be a very good deal. It's a classic "value play" deal...taking a mismanaged, under-performing asset and turning it around for a nice profit. Like Kasey, I like crunching numbers so I ran it through my deal analysis spreadsheet (be sure to check out all the...

    Reason 101 why BofA Sucks!

    REAL ESTATE 
    I've got a couple more reasons why they SUCK. I've had a small business line of credit with them for a couple years now. It was originally $15,000. About 6 months ago I applied for an increase to $50,000 based on past performance with the current LOC, credit, income etc. They gave me $25,000...
