It's a place where they take sick people. (I saw your avatar and couldn't resist)

But you are using logic and common sense to counter a lack of logic and common sense. You'll never win.

Heh... When I saw the topic, I was half expecting to see that he dropped a weight on his toe when he was working out. But that would, of course, imply that he works out.

Yeah, and the fact that he is doing things differently than Donahoe is cause for concern?

I WAS AGREEING WITH YOU.

There isn't even any proof that they knew about the rape/murders when they attacked the GI's. Could be coincidence that those poor dudes were from the same unit. But hey if you're a radical islamist, it's easy to justify murder. Just don't take a train in Bombay...

I agree, but at the same time it can be overwhelming. Seriously, I would have to quit my job, and not sleep if I wanted to protest every single instance of government waste. I would be all peeped out.

Heh, I actually agree with all of that...

Actually, that's not too far off what you would get by putting 100k in a five year CD, with virtually no risk. As a landlord, you make money on the property (hopefully) when it comes time to sell, but also through rent. The problem is, after property taxes, maint, and other misc costs, are you really that much ahead of the game? When you factor in the time and effort, I'm guessing no. Mostly because the market around here won't support rents much above the 700 range. I could be way off, but that's why I'm doing the research and asking questions. I've considered doing some flipping, but again, the reason so many of these places are cheap is not necesarily the structure, but the market. Fortunately, I don't have the loot in my hot little hand yet, so I have time to do as much research as possible to find the right combination of ROI, risk, and effort/time.

www.xenu.com That's all the info on Hubbard and his nonsense that you'll ever need.

In 2003. Believe it or not there is plenty of cheap property here in WNY. So, I'm guessing two properties. Plural. Like I said though, I'm not sure I want to deal with the hassles associated with being a landlord.

Apparently the wine cellar isn't in Buffalo. I have a comfortable home with a nice yard that was a rental before I purchased it. I paid 37,500.00. I'm going to have it paid off soon, and thought I might buy a few more properties in the same neighborhood. As I recall, if I have less than 4 rental properties I don't have to worry about escrow accounts and a few other things.

I was considering rental properties. I have a few friends that do pretty well with just a couple of places. The downside is the maintenance both in effort and in dollars. I'm a decent enough handyman, but not sure if I want to spend too much time on that sort of thing. Thanks for the response.

Alright, since everyone here seems to have have a variety of opinions, I'll present this question: If you had 100k cash to invest, how would you do it? CD Ladders? Real Estate? Money Market? Combo..?

Oh you are in HR huh? That explains a lot..

Sheesh... do you guys just assume you know everything when you decide to crap on someone's post? Synergy is anything but a 'BS' word. It's of Greek origin, so as much fun as everyone has had painting it as some recent corporate buzzword, the truth is, it has a much longer history. As far as it being a bunch of hooey, you are quite wrong there as well. Synergistic effects have been measured in toxins, drugs, and in other occurrences in science and nature. Now, does this necessarily apply to football? Maybe not, but the point he was trying to make was that marginal improvements at a few positions could have a greater effect on the offense in general. I don't think he discounted the importance of hard work and effort. Is it so hard to believe that a receiver's performance could improve from an improved QB? Wouldn't the RB possibly improve as well? Under several definitions of synergy, those types of reactions could apply. Oh wait... I forgot, I'm on the internet... here goes.... LOL Stooupid bilz will suck! oh, I bet if jevon keCurse played beter thaan other dfense all of eagle swill do all better than patriotrs! LOL my boss syays stupoid "low hang froot" all the time lolrlz!

Josh Reed. He gave me and a buddy a lift when we were stranded!

I don't disagree that height is a factor in what type of player a WR is or can be, but I guess I didn't think that particular stat really helped to solidify your point.

An inch difference?

10-6

I'd let myself be shot.

Why because Hitler was able to kill more people? Give me a break. Don't doubt for a second that Zarqawi would have have killed every single human being on this planet who didn't share his views if he had the chance. Just because he didn't have the means that Hitler had, doesn't keep him out of the same group of evil assh*les.

Arrghh! I DVR'd this on the HD channel last night, and all of the audio is clipped. Can only make out a few words here and there. Could someone provide me with a solid overview of the episode? I would really appreciate it!

I have one of the new Mustangs, and I have nothing but praise for it. I got it in January 05 when they first came out.

Just watch how many more accidents there are on the 33 E now, with that billboard of that super-hot lawyer.
