    Anyone here hyper-allergic to bug bites? Any treatment issues?

    You can buy medrol or prednisone in a taper package (prescription) My guess would be that the dose she took was too low. I would also switch to either zyrtec or chlotrimeton when the symptoms are that bad. benadryl would actually work best but its the most sedating. They now have the...

    Looking for a great personal finance plan that will make me wealthy in 30 years

    If you can get / enforce the no smoking rule that would be nice. Same goes for pets. Our lease has extra money for deposit and rent for pets. There are also the annoying condo rules. When dealing with foreclosures the property you buy often will be empty for a time will you do all the...

    I agree with honobob Hi I am curious why you disagree with honobob yet say that you plan on making your money in real estate? I also love how people ask a question and then berate people for the answers and beliefs. I am not sure what the final # would end up being. People have always said...

    Renting or selling the rental property

    If you did a 1031 you could avoid the tax issues. I take it you have looked into other tic's they dont all have that low a return . Of course you get more of the money into the investment which would increase the yield. Although I think I would rather go with a triple net lease. Buy the property...

    Ibuprofen & drowsiness: Well, duh.

    http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/glucosamine/NS_patient-glucosamine Aspirin can be even harder on the stomach. I dont think the one shot 800mg ibuprofen is going to do all that much toward alleviating inflamation. I would try the 400mg and see how that feels.

    Real estate is a local issue . So saying the house your looking at is 300k could mean your looking at a mansion. In texas or a slum in California. Hmm are there rules? I would go one further with the inspector. Ask for referals for the guy thats really going to dig.
