    My neighbor's Bentley & 4 Ferraris (auction resource)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My neighbor has a warehouse for his personal cars: 4 Ferraris, a Bentley, Hummer H1, etc. He buys a bunch of cars just for himself, just for fun. He's told me of ridiculous deals on Mclarens ($130K ?!!), bentleys, ferraris, etc. I saw him tonight at the country club and asked him where he gets...

    Self Defense Courses

    HOT! 
    I took Tae Kwon Do and Jiu Jitsu (from Brazilian master Royce Gracie). I learned real practical self-defense and fight techniques, especially with Jiu Jitsu, which focuses on what happens when you're rolling around on the ground, where most fights end up. My Tae Kwon Do instructor taught us how...

    Help me escape...

    I would do real estate investing. I had a healthy six-figure salary career and leveraged it to get financially free. Making $250k with great credit, low debt and cash reserves will get you far in buying rental properties that provide you with positive passive cash flow every month. Don't give...

    Whats it feel like to be a millionaire?

    MINDSET 
    I haven't found any "downs" about being a millionaire. More money allows for more freedom. Freedom to choose and freedom of time. Definitely more happy. Having money removes the stresses that lack of money creates. We cleaned house and dumped a lot of our old "friends" who were more interested...

    Nice Place Up For Sale - Apt

    REAL ESTATE 
    I agree w Russ-if it's that good of an investment, get it somehow. -You can ask if the owner will carry the whole loan. Offer a higher interest than you would get from a bank. -You can ask if their current loan is assumable; ask them to carry the note for the remainder -You can have them put...

    Can motels be converted to hotels...easily?

    REAL ESTATE 
    check out AnabellaHotel.com. It was a junky motel in anaheim, CA around Disneyland. The owners are a Dad and daughter from England. The end result is fantastic. Not sure what all is involved, but a good case study if you can get any info.

    Messy room - does it mean anything?

    MINDSET 
    I agree w MJ. For example, when you have clothes and crap on the floor, it means two things: 1) Lack of decision (is it clean or dirty?) 2) Lack of action (didn't put it in the hamper or fold it & put it away) How you do anything is how you do everything. If you procrastinate on making...

    Questions About Fast Food

    You may want to check out stories about "Raising Cane's Chicken" in Louisiana. A guy started a very successful fast food chain rather quickly based on chicken fingers only. It's hugely popular and has a great corporate culture. The founder got a whole lotta no's while trying to raise capital...

    Messy room - does it mean anything?

    MINDSET 
    I agree my initial forgone conclusion about other wealthy people was that of course they had clean homes because they have people to clean for them. However, paying more attention to my super successful friends, it is a consistent characteristic trait shared by most of my friends. They are quick...

    Messy room - does it mean anything?

    MINDSET 
    Physical clutter means mental clutter. Plain and simple. I feel more relaxed and mentally clear when stuff is put away and my house is clean, especially right after the housekeepers come. (Having two young kids sometimes means my house looks like Toys R Us exploded, however.) My husband's not as...

    My idea: Starting a business within a business

    IDEA 
    I think it's a great idea, Elijah. If it's a simple snack stand like you mentioned, prob won't need elaborate stuff like fire supression systems and insurance etc. There are lots of coffee/snack carts in existence. If you could figure out how to heat food or at least keep it warm, you would have...

    Fear of the Ultimate Sacrifice

    MINDSET 
    Remdog-Interesting. It's not common to think that having money means you will be alone, but I understand that's a real fear for you. In my experience, that's totally not the case. You will always have friends and never be alone if that's what you want. As you evolve as a person and grow your...

    Raising Entrepreneurial Kids

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I find that if I ask my kids' a question about how they think they can do something, they usually have great solutions themselves. (like the dog-walking for ASPCA. I didn't even think of that!). I try to pay attention to things they're interested in and figure out how to make it a fun lesson for...

    Raising Entrepreneurial Kids

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I definitely instill the sense of entrepreneurial spirit in my young daughters. In my neighborhood, when other 9-year olds are being given ferrari golf carts and rolexes, it's even more important for me to set examples of real value. My kids get more than enough gifts, but sometimes when they...

    Anyone do owner financing Contract of Deed?

    Hey David- Sux that didn't work out for you. Not sure if you need a second attorney to double-check the 1st attorney's work, but if you do, I had a RE attorney in Dallas since I have property there. Had him on retainer but didn't need his services for so long that he refunded my retainer. Good...

    Offshore Real Estate Investments

    REAL ESTATE 
    I agree that there could be huge opportunities in South America for exactly the reasons you cited. Personally, I've never looked into it. Thanks for the complimentary, yet grossly exaggerated "ultra sharp, well-connected types like the Laguna Laurens" comment...:smug2: I'm serious about the...
