    How to get rid of cigarette smoke smell?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I've owned a couple of rehab houses that were previously occupied by heavy smokers. And I've had good luck washing the washing and ceiling with TSP. I recommend that you use one of those sponge mop you can get get at costco, it makes the work go a little bit quicker. Also remember to wash all...

    Microbrew startup

    Also keep in mind that there is going to be a hop shortage this year. So you might want to check your recipes and adjust your prices accordingly. I know that for myself, I've already started to see the effects at my local homebrew shop, with higher prices and less choices.

    Selling on Land Contract?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Now that credit markets have tightened up. It would seem like a good time to start selling SFH's on land contract, instead of outright with the buyer using conventional mortgage financing (which they might not be able to get). I know a bit about the general details of selling on land contract...

    Business loan

    $100,000 sounds kind of low. How are you going to allocate that capital between purchasing equipment, construction, and working capital? Because my buddy that opened a franchise restaurant, spent over $200,000 of his own money to get it up and running.

    Flip Lessons Learned / Tips

    REAL ESTATE 
    I learned about sabotage on my first flip. The house was an REO, and before the bank kicked out the previous owner he had uncapped all the gas lines. And done some creative work with the electrical wiring. It was a dangerous situation to say the least.

    Flip Lessons Learned / Tips

    REAL ESTATE 
    I've learned a couple of lessons trying to flip: -If you are going to do demo within a house, I figure about 10 cubic yards for each room that I will demo to the studs.

    Purchase a 36 room motel?? Good or bad idea?

    IDEA 
    I can think of a couple of things you can add to the motel. 1) You might be able to team up with a local taxidermist/butcher and offer guests that stay in the motel a discount of there services, and you would get back a portion of the discount as a referral fee. That way it wouldn't cost you...

    NEWS: AMT bill passes House 11/9/07

    Just another example of the "Let's soak the rich" mentality of politicians. And who in the end gets hit with the tax.....the middle class and poor. Which is exactly what the AMT ended up doing, which is soaking the middle class instead of the rich. I think one of the bigger problems is going to...

    The Big Idea with Donnie Deutsch

    IDEA 
    I really didn't care for the show in its original incarnation (just interviewing celebs and athletes). But now that he has switched to the "Roadmap to the American Dream" format, I really like the show and the direction it is headed.

    Hi from Iowa

    As with most sites on the web, I really don't know how I got here, but I’m glad I’m here. After a couple of weeks of on and off visiting, I thought it was time to finally create an account and start to contribute. I'm not originally from Iowa but moved here from Michigan about 4 years ago...
