    TV, Radio, or silence in the office?

    Some people can seemingly have the TV on, talk on the phone and do work simultaneously. Whether you're one of those types of people is for you to determine. I think that even if you've conditioned yourself to be able to perform tasks while having the TV on, it's harder to focus and be fast &...

    :hurray: Fantastic. I love the banner. We should start a fund to raise $ to put those banners up all over the country. I'd pitch in to that worthy cause!! I've tried to get my other mortgage companies to buy my B of A loans; to no avail...Seriously considering selling all those properties just...

    Geeezus there are a lot of solutions! 378 I think is best-communicates the "im" in imtech. Important to stay relatively simple. Some of the other designs are dynamic-looking, but are more generic; not memorable or proprietary to you and your name. Pick the 3-5 that you like the best, print them...

    How to save $1,000 AND find more time for you

    HOT! 
    I couldn't have said it better myself! I know so many people who have invested time in creating an unbelievably fabulous life for themselves instead of watching tv that no tv show could possibly compare to their now amazing daily reality of extreme luxury, incredible experiences and genuine...

    How to save $1,000 AND find more time for you

    HOT! 
    I LOVE this! words to live by... Personally, I TiVo the only 2-3 shows I do watch a week...(I spend more time with my family or reading books and doing my real estate investments.) Interestingly, I noticed early on that the self-made mega-millionaire friends of mine either don't own TVs at all...

    Side business...

    I helped Kevin, my gardener, buy his first house. He had an opportunity but didn't know how to go about it, so I walked him through the process. Definitely beneficial to get to know home owners in high-end neighborhoods, especially if you're entrepreneurial.

    Definitely go for the landscaping thing. Not sure where you're located, but I would try to get into more expensive neighborhoods for jobs/clients. I live in an exclusive, guard-gated community with our own country club. We are a tight-knit, social community, so when we find a great gardener, we...

    real estate fastlane?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I did start small with SFHs and then got into apartment buildings but I didn't have to. It was a mental preconception that I had. I've done 100% financing deals on houses and I can do 100% financing deals on apartments just as well. Same time and effort into shopping for and researching...

    real estate fastlane?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Definitely to each his own. We each have our own ideas of an acceptable investment/return. Making $100-$200 a month on a house isn't worth it to me personally. I go for big returns (6-figures/yr.) on EACH property to yield 7-figures of passive income annually. I used to do SFHs, but why do that...

    Hey-I just went to the bank to request a new debit/mastercard ('cause someone with an IP address in Uganda got ahold of my credit card info and was using my money quite liberally!). Anyway, the bank person asked if I wanted a standard or customized ATM/Debit/Credit card. Cute little kitties on...

    A lot of my kids' friends have Birthday parties in which the parents request that instead of bringing a gift, that a donation be made to a specific cause/charity with instructions on the birthday party invitation of how to do so. Or gifts that are brought are donated to the Children's Hospital...

    I love that, MJ! I picked up the tab for a table full of army guys at a restaurant. My 5-year old also went over and thanked them for protecting us. (She also hugs every police man she sees and thanks them too!)

    sm-Way to go! Love the diaper thing. rep+++ Being philanthropic/helpful is one of my biggest joys. I try to look for situations where I can help people and I frequently find them. Last week I flew a commercial flight to Chicago. I went through security and noticed a single mom with 2 little...

    Haha. Great story Russ! Years ago I got a huge chunk of change from a property I re-fi'd and wanted another convertible Mercedes. I went to the dealership and tried to put the whole car on my AmEx or my Visa for the miles. The dealer wouldn't do it (of course, they have to pay a % from me using...
