Best way to start investing in real estate?
July 31, 2010 Posted by admin
Im interested in how veterans of real estate investing broke into the market. Ive read too many books and listened to too many seminars that pin your start on deal-of-a-lifetime type purchases and shady accounting.
Do you think its worth buying, improving and selling a home in a short time? Do you think buying and renting is the better way to go? (Renting seems better if prices fall but carrying several mortgages is as scary)
What kind of financing did you use? Down Payment? (Yes/No/How Much?) How much was your initial investment if you were improving the property? Did you take out any loans to cover your improvements?
Im in my mid 20s. I live in the South Shore MA area. I dont pay rent and incur about $400 monthly expenses. I have a good full time job (+50K), some saved money (+10k) and good credit. Im very organized, fairly well educated on the subject (a lot to learn) and i have friends who are listing agents and contractors.
Any feedback/contact would be appreciated
How do I tell my wife she isnt trying hard enough?
July 31, 2010 Posted by admin
When I ask my wife for things, her first response is ” No” or something that means no. Then some time in the FAR future she will make it happen. The problem is that by the time she finally makes it happen I have given up on it, and have tried to get something else that would make me happy.

Do you have to get you taxes readjusted after a home improvement?
July 31, 2010 Posted by admin
Lets say you finish your basement or add a bathroom, this adds value to your house. Taxes are partially based on the value of your home right? How does this work? I live in NY if that helps but in general what happens?

How to repair a severed electrical cord for hot tub?
July 31, 2010 Posted by admin
I was given a used hot tub, but the electrical cord was cut to remove it. So there is no ” plug” at the end of the cord, just a cut end. I assume that the elecritc was wired directly to the hotub, and when they removed it, they just cut the electrical cord.
Is there anything in this stimulus package that will create long lasting (non-Government) jobs?
July 31, 2010 Posted by admin
600 billion+ SO FAR of the “stimulus” package isWASTE
50m National Endowment for the Arts
60m Mob museum in Vegas
850mWildfire prevention in California
200m “study” electric cars for use in government
650m additional $$$ for DTV
400m NOAA to study habitat restoration
44m Repair to AG HQ in DC
276m State Department computer upgrades
600m to NASA for “global warming” research
600m “to help doctors, nurses and dentists” “prepare” for universal health care
209m maintenance upgrades to USDA research building
400m “upkeep upgrades” of “national treasures” like National Mall and
Smithsonian
…but that’s chump change compared to this:
1 bn to preserve 500 at risk salmon in CA
275bn to “refundable” tax credits (welfare checks)

real “infrastructure”)
100bn to expand Medicaid
150bn to explore “alternative” energy
3.1bn for parks and fisheries improvements
20bn “nutritional assistance for middle income” Americans –this is an expansion
of food stamps to 400% of the poverty line!!!
1.5bn to build community health centers
1.9bn to the DOE to do …sit down…”basic research on physical sciences”!!!!
2.7bn for “rural water disposal” (this is to research how to get rural homes off
septic and on to sewer…really, it is)
2.5bn for “upgrades” and energy efficiency for government run housing
6.2bn to “weatherize” low income homes
2.4bn for “carbon capture technology”
350 m for std prevention
75m smoking cessation
870m bird flu
572m Coast Guard for job creation (translates to 460k per job created)
25m for ATV trail maintenance
1.5bn for “carbon capture contest”
On a home improvement show -they put paper on a floor and sealed it- it looked like stone – how do you do that
July 31, 2010 Posted by admin
I really want to put it on a countertop. I tried gluing the paper down and putting polyeuerathane over it, but the poly made the paper come unglued. Maybe I need a different adhesive? Anyone try something like this?
