What Are You Doing Right Now? (118 Viewers)

I will check em out today.
I've been thinking about this for a long time, most in the caribbean. Hawaii though, was just a recent development. The property would be paid for up front, that wouldn't be the problem, I'd like to make some money from it in rentals throughout the year, and yes I have thought about all this stuff that you mentioned. Eventually, hopefully, with the right property I'd sell a few years later for a nice profit after I'd do some work to it. For me its about location, then I'd invest in making the home better so when I'd look to sell it it would be better in terms of earning a profit.

You could do better on that with it instead in D.C. I'm just sayin'...

I don't want to be in DC though. LOL, I hate it here.

But if your main purposes is to rent it out, make some money off it, fix it up, and then sell for a profit -- why the feck all would you want to have to add a 10-hour plane trip every time you wanted to check out the place, let alone have to add the expense and trust of a remote management company to take care of it for you?

For what little you would actually stay there, do you really want to hang out in a rental? If you're going to do that, just lease the ideal place for you to visit -- not the ideal one for you to make a profit on as a landlord/property flipper.

Greg, you're like a dad in every way now

Can I use one academic to argue against the same academic...from the same book?

One guy claims that social media isnt ready to have a big impact on protests, and then later says that twitter and facebook were key in the Iran Protests....no-one else has written about social media in this context and I don't know if i can pull of using him to criticise himself

(also this guy is my disertation tutor, deputy head of my dept and also marking this essay)....

How do you know Martin's dad?

The purpose of me owning a nice home somewhere else is because I want a nice place to go vacation without pay out of the ass for hotels, etc. Hawaii was just an idea and I don't think there are 10 hour flights to the Caribbean (much cheaper as well). I want a place my family and friends can go on vacation as well and not incur the normal costs that people pay to go on vacation. It has been a dream of mine to have my own property and perhaps even start a business as well.

What do you mean with this?

Coveting a phonograph, but sadly I don't have the £5,000 I'd need to buy it.

Steal it or covet it for the rest of your life

Pretty much. I think I will have to settle for a replica.

You ever hear the slogan, "Don't shit where you eat?" -- meaning don't use your kitchen as a toilet? You seem to be caught in the reverse of "Don't eat where people shit."

Sounds to me that you want to have some emotional attachment to the idea of owning a place in a nice area that you'd rarely, if ever, get to use or visit. And even when you did, it would only be as the leftovers of all the renters.

The worst financial decisions are made for emotional reasons. So I say either get a place you love and pay through the nose for it (think Il Avvocato and Juve) or instead buy a place optimized for making a good deal of cash for rentals and resale that you have little emotional attachment to (e.g., the Los Angeles Clippers).

Damn. What museum do you have to break into for that?

Are they that expensive?

They are actually a lot easier to come by than one would expect. It's the cylinders that I would imagine are few and far between.

Real ones, yes. Replicas are about $100-300, depending.

Nice.... old school.

Just to date me back into the 1800s, one of my favorite toys when I was little was a jukebox that ran off a plastic cylinder.

Believe it or not, I had one of those as well!

Getting drunken calls from a girl that I am well on my way on falling for. I have no idea if she feels the same about me, and the cultural differences combined with the fact that we are both living at home renders a potential relationship impossible at the moment. She's calling me, texting me oh so sweet words but I have no idea if I can answer them honestly given the situation. Why can't I ever have an easy relationship with a girl? Fucking life -.-

Not to burst your bubble, but that opening line kind of sold me on the conclusion already.
