    Shocking Allegations Arise That Google Is Stealing From Customers Using Its AdSense Service

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Publishers engage in much more fraud than you think. You should see how shady the built for adsense sites are. Google might make mistakes but I think they're less shady than their typical publisher

    $63 Million Dollars GONE, because due diligence was not done.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Many people are crooks. It's not just about spending. In this case, he would have been completely screwed over. Since he was known and liked, the bank isn't completely screwing him over. The title is misleading: $63M is not gone. Read the bottom of the article: "the boxer reached an agreement...

    PEOPLE 
    Getting friends is hundreds of times easier than becoming a millionaire. Also, millionaires may have different standards for friends. Finding a good relationship might be harder than making friends, but it's still many times easier than making the first million.

    Sounds hard. Maybe you're getting shafted? Pricing isn't everything. Reliability and branding can trump margins

    Upside down equity in a vehicle.

    Make more money or liquidate the car as you said yourself. You dont have to recover money where you lost it. Thats what a gambler does. I recommend going to a casino and watch people lose money. You'll see what I mean.

    STOP Paying Rent: Live For Free

    GOLD! REAL ESTATE 
    $1300 monthly CF and $136k in equity from a one time purchase is better than average and I think others can learn from it. It's still a fraction of what others are doing, but still probably a good learning experience for you

    What is the $136,000 in 5 months? Is that equity gained? $5900 invested / 0.035 down = $168,571 price (Let's say $200k after time/closing costs). A 36.76% cash on cash based on $5900 is $2168.84 ($5900 * $0.3676) Does this mean you netted $2168.84 in 5 months and acquired $136K in equity?

    The linked post below is accurate.If you read what I said earlier about the charity challenge (which I'll increase to $500), I'll still honor it if you insist. I feel like it's impolite to challenge you so out of respect and as an ego check I've removed my message.

    I'm scaling an ecommerce company and incubating companies with good strategic partners. I don't know if OP's concept can be made fastlane (getting a one time FHA loan). It might be good for people boostrapping. I'm not instigating an internet debate. Right now I'm bringing on team members so I...

    I'm not hating. I just think what he's doing is slow lane :) I edited it to gather feedback on what you think is an acceptable ROI. A rental property with a government loan is a waste of time to me.

    We should restrict this further by weight, height, ethnicity, and having at least a certain amount in the bank. /s A mastermind is usually a lot better when everyone on board has a demonstrated record

    Looking to sell my company. Any advice on posts to read?

    HOT! 
    You will have to sell it yourself as the deal size is too small for most people to be interested. "I'm my only sales person and I run the entire team by myself." Without you the business seems like it would slowly fade. It doesn't seem like a fastlane business as the growth rate potential...
