We are definitely all looking for all of those steals out there. Hopefully we can find them without getting ourselves into a jam, like buying in places that have little to no shot of recovering.

Frisbee golf, eh? Fun times.

Richard is right. We're all numb to these huge numbers. And since neither we nor anyone in the government actually has a grasp on these numbers it is just going to continue. When we look back at it all in 10-20-30 years, we're going to ask why we didn't stop the madness when it started.

Both Bush and Obama are going to go down in history for their spending, and I don't think it is going to be good for either.

There are lots of great people on the site Jon. You're now in good company here at Biggerpockets. There are a bunch of New York groups here that might be good for you to join.

I'm with Matt. This is another small change that could be helpful to everyone around the site.

He outsmarted everyone in the US government and industry. Hire him to run the treasury department!

This idea came from Charles on the BiggerPockets show and isn't half bad.

Milwaukee is in the middle of the wind belt, isn't it? Probably a good place to have a wind farm regardless of the temperature. The wind still blows when its -2, doesn't it?

That's in interesting breakdown, Lee. I know that the 50/50 split that you mention isn't always so. Often agents get 60, 70, 90 percent. Regardless, many people probably don't realize how things split, so this will probably be very helpful to them.

I don't think the people posting on the discussion set out to waste your time, nationwide. All I can offer is my thoughts as an outside observer.

It seems to me that you and MikeOH are in an ongoing battle on the site about this 50% rule and you don't want to let it go. It seems that you're unhappy that people haven't posted anything to validate your view on the topic in this discussion. You seem to have posted the topic today, a holiday for many people, but don't have the patience to see how the thread advances without complaining about the few who have commented already.

It would appear that you have a successful business model, so why does it matter?

If people here don't agree with you, who cares? Why not just move on and worry about other topics? You're making money despite other people's view of this 50% things, right?

Don't start attacking me here for my comments either please. I'm just another members who is tired of everyone trying to prove one another wrong. People seem to be interested in talking about the topic. Why chastise them?

Its Christmas.

Can't we just agree that we're going to disagree and move on with out lives?

:roll:
