:lupe: I just looked at the breh's website & he has a Real Estate Fund:

Look into REITs: real estate investment trusts. This sounds like a similar thing. One I hear on the radio fairly often is called Rich Uncles. They require like $200k net worth or $75k annual income because they invest to rent to commercial tenants.

I talked with this recruiter Friday and he asked me to fill out pre-employment form that included references and take some assessments over the weekend. I always get the go ahead from people before I give out their number, but I proscratinated and didn't reach out to them until this morning :lupe: and I just ended up just giving out their email addresses. Dude tells me email addresses aren't good enough and demands phone numbers (he was kind of nasty). I explain to him that I haven't heard from them and they would check emails faster than a voicemail anyway :manny: Dude says "Our company isn't going to waste time sending an email to someone" :heh: I just told him if/when I hear from them I'll update with the numbers. But I'm just thinking, the amount of effort is the same. You're still reaching out to someone. Oh well.

Got home earlier to a nice little come up. Got a check in the mail from that lost money website. :salute: to whichever breh put me on since I believe I read about it on here. $130, not too bad for money I wasn't expecting. Check y'alls states and see if you're on the list. :blessed:

Why do they need references before even giving out an offer i hate that nonsense:camby:

Down to 2k on my car note. Can't wait until it's over. Trying not to break into my savings yet. Hopefully by July 4th I'll be done. I'll likely bring the balance down with each paycheck then pay off the rest with savings. Then to work on the 2k credit card debt. About half which is on my BOA card with promotion period ending soon. Hopefully by mid August I'll be more at ease. Granted I maintain any spending under control.

Are you snowballing the payments?

I was thinking about that but both my credit cards have zero interest. So I don't see the benefit. I usually shoot them a few hundred a check or month just to get it down a bit. I don't owe much but I'm far from six figures so I gotta be smart about my finances and to keep my utilization rate as low as possible. One ends in June and one ends in January. I can pay the June one off with money stored away each check just for that. So I've been trying to pay the car off at 5% and keep the balances low on the credit cards. I'm way ahead on the car, like September or October ahead. That's how eager I am to get rid of the loan. I have done the snowball before years ago. But I'm doing things in reverse and going by highest balance first.
