However, the groundwork and trust had to be there FIRST, not second for that to work.There have been trying times with all of the stress and such of doing real estate, and rehabs, as we've lived in some houses we've worked on, etc - but I've seen a lot of growth in my wife and am excited to see where she goes. 

Since I am a Democrat from Texas, I found many of the comments here particularly uninformed.It was a Texas case that went to the Supreme Court that laid the ground work for this type of law. 

I’m barely an investor (under contract on a 6-unit) but for me I can pop on this site while cooking dinner or waiting for my kids to get ready and gather a bit of RE knowledge, lay ground work for networking, etc.There is something to be said for that FB or Instagram mentality where you are working for likes & notoriety.

Account ClosedI do it by having local partners in the markets I work in, I put up most of the cash, they put up most of the on the ground work and project management.

I'd rather call my account manager and let them do the 'boots on the ground' work.

We rely on local people to handle boots on the ground work but we manage the bookings centrally. 

I am really surprised by the amount of people who are just shrugging and saying "of course it will come back" It was a struggle to turn the corner in the 1990's, with decades of ground work, and as I said before- the city cannot deploy those resources again.We have a grand old shell of a city here in NJ.

Complete our accounting for Q3 and meet with our EA (enrolled agent) tax preparer to get a start on laying the groundwork for 2015.4.

That sounds like a good year and that you're laying solid groundwork for the years to come.  

Just laying some groundwork to get my feet wet.Lance Nalezny
