We have had a divided country since before the Civil War but that should not keep us from coming to the table with an open mind to solve the enourmous chanllenges that face all of us.I have been dissapointed with the blatant misstatement of facts and outright lies that have replaced honest and open debate on the issues.Unless we are able to have open discussion of the issues and shine a light on the hidden ajendas of our politicians I fear that our government will continue to be ineffective.

My wife and I have chosen RE investing because of:The Cash Flow Factor Tax Benefits (to help keep more of our hard earned money) Wealth Creation / Net Worth Security (well, more then most other investments anyway - because everyone needs shelter)If you notice, wealthy people always have real estate in their holdings (including politicians who want to impose higher taxes on the rich - funny how that works).
