No, but you could call the other wholesalers in your area for free advertising. Tell them you will split the profits, or tell them a lower price than you are advertising for and they keep the difference.

You should also take your deal to a local REIA to wholesale it as well. Thats another free way to a real buyer.

You're right! Feels good, doesen't it?

After reading (a little) about the topic of hyperinflation, you are right that it WONT happen.

"While there is no standard definition of hyperinflation, it's typically characterized by an increase in the inflation rate by at least 50% each year. Many definitions list 30% or more each month."

So you are 100% correct that hyperinflation will almost certainly not happen.

Instead we will just have severe inflation. Regular old inflation at severe levels. But you cant call it hyperinflation, because it will never get high enough to fit the definition of that term.

That being said, I wonder if "severe" inflation, high unemployment, cuts to entitlement programs, and higher taxes could cause some problems in this country.

I would love to think that we are starting to see a recovery now. Please be right about that too!

I'm assuming you mean SFR's.

We are closing on a condo soon where the HOA is $415 a month. But its cool because that includes power, water, cable, and something else.

Evidence of Inflation in Commodity Prices

http://seekingalpha.com/article/238731-more-evidence-of-inflation-retailers-report-escalating-commodity-prices

The rise in Commodities will be passed on to companies and eventually to consumers. I have already seen price increases when I go grocery shopping. Someting that you used to buy for a dollar is now $1.39 and so on.

Ron Paul figured this out 2 decades ago which is why he changed up and starting running as a Republican with some Libertarian philosophies. That's how you win elections.

I think Ron Paul knows that he cant get on a televised debate if he runs under a 3rd party.

Snitker couldn't get into a debate here in Florida. Hell he couldn't even get on talk radio, much less a television screen.

The 2 party system has a vested interest in not having any new opponents. Without the majority of people knowing what a party or candidate stands for, they really cant compete.

Having hated the Republican party when they were running the show under Bush (thats what made me start caring about politics at all), and then being lied to by Obama and seeing more that I dont like from the Left (forced health care and other socialism); people like me are left with only 3rd party options or just apathy.

I wish he (Ron Paul) would just run as a Libertarian and help the party get traction.

Welcome to BP forums Bobby.

I was born and raised in Mount Airy, NC. Miss those Blue Ridge mountains now that I live here in Florida.

Same here J. Except I was dumb enough to actually vote for Obama and fall for the promises that were made. And I'm not liberal, I just knew that the NeoCons sucked big time.

I actually believed Obama would restore our rights, end the occupations of the middle east, and do something to clean up DC from all the Wall Street lobbyists. Boy was he slick at telling us what we wanted to hear.

Then he got in office and did the OPPOSITE of what he promised, and continues to do so on many occasions.

After 8 years of Bush, and being lied to by Obama, I realize that neither party will go against the corporations and banks that have corrupted the system.

Some Libertarians are now running under the Republican side to get votes. Aside from that its straight Libertarian from here on out for me and mine.

Sorry for hijacking the thread Tim. To speak to your original post though, they are cracking down on torrent big time. Limewire is under court injuction now. And with the Cyber Security Act rolling out soon enough, it will be bye bye for pirating sites in the near future.

Dont count on the people standing up for their rights. Sure some people will be upset, but it dies down after a while. And then big brother will push a little further.
