I noticed a lot of new REIN members and ACRE workshop attendees lately.

Welcome ! You made a wise choice to further your education and go from "Ready, set, set, set, set ..." to GO.

Here are some common REIN posts that I have done over the last 1 1/2 years that you may find a good read.

thankyou

you're welcome !!

Nice to see an easy place to find so much good info. I notice that Thomas is a bit too modest to promote his other writing and his book-in-progress, so I'll give it plug myself:

http://80lessonslearned.blogspot.com

Lots of great information there as well!

Maybe there should be a forum suction "Musings of Thomas Buyer"

Love your stuff TB....simple and straight to the point. I don't always agree with it (eg Global warming is a myth) but is always a good to hear an opinion and get perspective.

Thanks again Thomas for all that you do share so willingly!

Thomas, your posts are the essence of this site and of REIN membership. May you never get carpal tunnel syndrome...

I agree. Funny Garth. :-)

Thanks.

Thanks Thomas for putting them all in one place and keeping us "rookies" going. One day I will get over to a REIN meeting out West and would love to meet you!
Maybe you'll come see us again on the East coast???

Thomas is one of the "few people" I consider real investors with insight that deals with "Real life" investing.  Most people "think" they know investing but from my point of view they aren't. 

Nice posts and insight Thomas.  You could also be a comedian!

Thanks Thomas!  A lot of forums have sticky threads.  It would be good to have one here too.  That way users would be able to find lots of answers to FAQ's easily,  This list is great!]

Always a pleasure to help others. Always !
