Just a random post
ByHey Folks,
Not much to report today. It was cold, for Florida, and at night, wow, really cold, lower 30′s. Not something I ever imagined before moving here.
Thing is, I also never imagined that 2 or 3 days of lower 30 degree weather would feel as cold as it does to me now.
Oh well, the sun and warm weather will be back in a few days.
As far as investing activity today, frankly, I did not do a thing.
Basically, took the day away from that, to handle other details that required my attention, along with a nice long nap.
Yup, I’m getting older, and have learned to find pleasure in simply laying down and sleeping for a couple hours here and there.
I did some reading today, about what is happening in the financial markets, etc.
Thing is, the news changes daily, but pretty much says the same thing……..those with sense will be fine, those without, better get some, or be left out.
With that in mind, let’s ask some questions.
Where are you in todays financial climate/market? Are you comfortable?
Worried about your future?
Worried about how todays bills will be paid?
Excited at the opportunities that are present in todays world?
or
what financial market crisis? I’m fine, my locale has not changed one way or the other for years?
or
?
So, share your thoughts folks? Comment here, and let me know what you are thinking, and feeling at this time in our country……….about how its effecting, or not, YOU and YOUR FAMILY?
Then, tell me what the most burning questions on your mind are at the moment?
From there, I’ll post here and address the most common ones first, and all eventually…….perhaps offer some answers, but more importantly, give you a look from another perspective perhaps.
So, what’s your financial picture like at the moment? Are you worried?
Share, and I’ll do the same.
For the record, I’m concerned, but not worried. Concerned in the sense that, I MUST remain on top of things and pay attention to where opportunity presents itself, and be prepared to act……..at the same time as increasing cash flowing transactions, secure cashflow.
Share up folks……..and once again, Welcome back to the new www.REmentors.com
I hope to make this fun and entertaining, perhaps slightly provacative here and there as well.
Til next time, keep the rubber side down,
Jim

Hey Jim,
Mari here from TheCashProvided.com You know, recall once when my husband and I went to Florida to visit and to attend a Church function and we had one night that was REAL cold!
As far as the market etc., we keep our eye on the ball, save more than we spend. We do not spend anything on ridiculous expenditures either.
We continue keeping our eys open for deals and are buying and flipping REO’s, BULK REO’s, Short Sales and commercial flips using our investors cash through TheCashProvided.com where we get funds to close our back to back deals.
That is what we are doing today in this market and recommend that the readers here do not be afraid, as Fear is false expectations appearing real! So keep your heads up folks!!!
To Your MASSIVE SUCCESS!
Hi Jim,
I hear ya about the weather here this winter… What the heck is going on?? I’ve been in Tampa 15 years and have never seen a winter so cold. If it’s like this next year, I’m moving farther south. Seriously.
As far as the state of the economy- I try not to watch the news, as it makes me suicidal. I just focus on my wholesaling business, and plan on socking away as much as I can as fast as I can, because I think it is going to get really ugly.

Hey Big Jim. I feel your pain brother. It isn’t any warmer over here in Inverness Florida either! LOL
Jim, you know I pretty much bailed out at the top in 2005 so we don’t have to may worries but I see a lot of people who do on my site at http://www.magicbullets.com thanks for moderating that Jim.
We are really excited these days with 95 real estate wizards all contributing a 10-30 page chapter on what is working in real estate today for them, (Thanks for your submission as well Jim) We launch this 2500 page Gorilla on March 31st and I’m looking forward to giving everyone some real clarity on how they can navigate these crazy markets with this new information from the best and brightest.
Thanks for asking Jim, there is always opportunity if you are open to it.

Cold in Florida, huh? Considering I’m living in your original home state of Illinois, you’re not getting any sympathy from me…LOL!
You asked quite a few questions regarding plans, worrisome, etc.
I’ll fill you in (briefly) on what’s happening with me….
I’m selling one rental unit at a time. Most likely we’ll keep one rental unit. We plan to do 1031 or simply put all nets towards commercial real estate such as mobile home park, apartment complex, etc. Whatever comes our way when we begin the search to buy.
We’ve lost plenty on our retirement funds, including 401K. NOT a happy camper. But….we have to remember that we’re buying extra stocks which will help speed up our future profits.
We’re still heavily involved in our landlord association. Hubby is the president. I’m the editor/publisher of the monthly newsletter. In reality, I’m the one who is multi-tasking as well as running our association. As Groucho Marx used to say: Behind every successful man is a woman….
BTW—Great blog you have here, Jim!
