Flipping is not simple, a high interest rate with "even more points" makes an even higher chance of failure.Don't drink the flipping koolaid.

ok... well, so, this market is a LI'L different than the last bubble.at any rate, i'll take the INFERRED offer for a drink tho... maybe the next BP disneyland visit that Brandon Turner makes I can make it out to faraway land in T.O., and you can help this parched (and hungry) bird-dog.last note and comment on this thread...NOTE: see how thorough i am?

I save the rental income to buy more if I want more, or take money from other investments such as stocks and bonds and cds and use the rent for a trip to Portugal, or where ever.I did not drink the guru kool aid and say this is my w-2 money, its mine, this is my rental money its my passive money and the 2 do not mix. 

Drink more alcohol..No, Not really. ;)Truthfully though, relaxing more often was one of my new years resolutions for me and my RE businesses.It's only day 2 on this "relaxing" journey and I advise all to partake in it in some way, shape or form.

I don't know about all the scams but the one I'm trying to manage gave a option for a credit card line.If you need this line of credit card/cards to pay for the course, STOP enjoy the speech and maybe free drinks then take all that motivation that got you in that hot seat and go sit on google sourcing education for a week or so until you start your own plan of ways to achieve success.

A bottle of wine whether they drink it or not is a nice thing to receive.
