Quotes of the Day

The older you get, the less heart-essential coenzyme Q10 you have. Not so good, since 95% of the energy produced by the body depends on this electron transport chemical, making it important to eat more energy-producing greens, grains, and beans. [2009] - Frances Sheridan Goulart

In nearly every instance, you can say one thing for certain about an REO: The lender wants to sell the property as quickly as possible. Buying an REO directly from a lender typically presents no more risk than buying directly from any other property owner. Normally, you can buy an REO much more safely than you could have bought the same property at its foreclosure sale. You might even be able to buy at a lower than market value price. You can find REOs in three different ways: follow up after a foreclosure sale; cold call lender REO personnel; locate Realtors who typically get REO listings. Rather than ask for a complete list of REOs, narrow your focus. Tell lenders what you're specifically looking for in terms of location, size, price range, floor plan, condition, or other features. In that way, a lender can answer your request without disclosing the full number of REOs within its inventory. [2003] - Gary W. Eldred

I believe it is an acceptable practice to profit a little on shipping. [2005] - Adam Ginsberg

Many business owners start a business because they think the business is a good idea, but they have no plan on how to get out of the business. [2000] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

A significant issue with Dietary Restriction (DR) is that everyone's metabolism is different. Some people will lose tremendous amounts of weight and improve their metabolic markers on a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet, while others will actually gain weight and see their lipid markers go haywire-on the exact same diet. Conversely, some people might lose weight on a low-fat diet, while others will gain weight. Any form of DR that restricts protein is probably a bad idea for most people, because it likely also impairs the maintenance or growth of muscle. Similarly, replacing carbohydrates with lots of saturated fats can backfire if it sends your apoB concentration (and thus your cardiovascular disease risk) sky-high. [2023] - Peter Attia
