I've got a feeling that if we didn't give them housing, food, healthcare, or money for being lazy, they might at least make one good decision - to GET A JOB!

If you are making a very low offer and want your price, you need to have less contingency time.Just food for thought.

....brings back memories...eating great food at Consuelo's, spending the afternoon at the wharf, and attending the Jazz Fesitval.

Two family owned organizations that are near and dear to my heart.1)The Dodgers2) In-n-OutFollow these two empires, and you'll do just fine in RE investing!!!

People couldn't buy food, and they wanted the gravel to look nice...Ofgift

I was thinking that if the resort is able to rent my week out to paying guests for $3,000 or so, and if they take 50% of it as their expense, I still get a phenomenal return on my investment.I have no interest in actually staying there, let alone eating their food.

Now with that being said you should get a job Renae just to provide food and a roof for your kids if you don't have other means to support but overall you shouldn't abandon your dreams maybe until you get back on your feet or while your searching for a job look into wholesaling there are a ton of articles on the subject here on BP and in the wholesaling forum as well.Or go to your local REI club and find yourself a mentor that will teach you and take you under his or her wing.

‘Guru’ isn’t as commonly used and has more or less been bastardized by some unscrupulous marketers.In a perfect world I would say the difference between Gurus and Experts would be that Gurus aren’t only experts but they take the extra steps to take their systems, methods, and experience and form a course to instill the investor ability in others in a more comprehensive and organized fashion.It’s the nature of profit and opportunity that brings out the bad apples who taint the well and it makes it a little harder to separate the good gurus from pseudo-gurus so renowned experts have to market in different ways (if they know what’s good for them) to sidestep that image.

Now the Syndicator has to buy food too, so let's say his cut is 20 cents on the dollar, that leaves 50 cents on the dollar for the developer to finance his project.
