Quotes of the Day

To protect yourself from paying too much, ask to see the loan officer's rate sheet. On most loans, commissions typically should run no more than 1 percent of the amount you borrow. [2003] - Gary W. Eldred

Online dating sites and mobile dating apps give you mate-search superpowers. Each site or app tends to specialize in different mating goals (e.g. AdultFriendFinder for casual sex with "hot, horny singles...NOW!," Tinder and Zoosk for short-term dating, Match.com, eHarmony, and PlentyofFish for longer-term relationship, OKCupid for polyamory). [2015] - Tucker Max

You can use debt capital pulled from your own home (or maybe an existing rental property) to fund the down payment for a rental property. You can do a leveraged loan against a stock portfolio as well, but it's not as simple as with real estate. Leveraged loans against marketable real estate are among the easiest to qualify for, have the lowest interest rates and have the most options available. Eighty percent LTV (loan-to-value) loans are the norm in real estate today. I doubt you will be able to find another asset class in which you can borrow such a high percentage of the total value and still get such preferential rates and conditions. [2017] - Calum Ross

I keep CNBC on all day. It keeps me informed on what the market is doing and what it has done but, unfortunately, not on what it will do. [2003] - Marcel Link

If you are going to do business over dinner, it's a wise strategy to complete most of the conversation before the food arrives. First, whether you are dining at home or at a restaurant, have the other person sitting with his back to a solid wall or screen. Next, the lights should be dimmed and muffled background music should be played to relax the senses. It would be best to use a round table and to have the other person's view of other people obscured by a screen or large green plant if you want a captive audience. [2004] - Allan Pease
