2011-10-20 19:09:00 Sex sells. How else do you think the sitcom Married with Children, which ran from 1987-1998, managed to stay on the air for 11 seasons? No, it wasn?t the ingenious comedic writing. The show remained popular with the 25-36 year old male demographic for so long because the producers figured out that including scantily clad ...This Article is Copyright © 2004-2011 BiggerPockets, Inc.

The Next Generation of Vintage Flipping
2011-01-03 05:05:00 What's the future of flipping? Early on there was eBay, then a migration to the friendlier Etsy marketplace when it expanded with a vintage category. Hyper-lately, vintage sellers have been going local. Local shows, local pop-ups and Craigslist--local and free. This past year in Chicago, sellers showed us some love with creative ways to cool hunting. Emphasizing the shopping experiences, they popped up with interesting venues enhanced with local food and drink. Other small vendors kept overhead and prices low by using what they have in physical and blog space. They relied on free social media to get the word out. Around the net beyond Chicago, too, I follow some innovative people who've found working ways to market their finds....
How much do we LOVE Flipping Out?

It was basically playing catch up from where last season ended and previewing the drama to come...so here are some points...RyanOh smarmy, shady Ryan.

Flipping Houses for Profit
2009-08-27 12:30:00 I’ve mentioned before in a book review that I was, at one point, very interested in flipping houses for profit. What do I mean by flipping houses? It means to purchase houses that need cosmetic (or more) work selling for well under market value, upgrade them, and sell them for profit (hopefully) in a relatively short period of time. Sounds pretty easy in theory, but flippers can get way over their head if they don’t know what they are doing. From reading a few books on flipping, watching various flipping TV shows and speaking with local investors, it seems that one critical step is running the numbers as accurately as possible before purchasing the property to ensure that the project is financially viable. The profit on a flipping endeavor is made when you buy which perhaps makes it the most important step. That is, the lower the purchase price of the house itself, the higher your potential profit margin. The Process Evaluate the House – Once you find ...

Why Website Flipping is BIG Business and How You Too Can Cash In!
2009-06-17 13:53:00 Today's Internet commerce is driven by websites churning out helpful information to the hundreds of millions of surfers who login every single day from all over the world. This makes websites designers highly sought-after workers because of their ability to code websites quickly.One solid factor that drives website success is search engines. This is because if a site does not rank properly for the particular keywords that are targeted, the site becomes lost among the hundreds of millions of other sites that liter cyberspace.Search engines in turn have certain criteria that they use to determine how to reward valuable sites and how to punish the not-so-valuable. This means that other than good artistic design, webmasters also have to be skilled in the art of search engine optimization. This is usually beyond the knowledge of many business owners and others wishing quick search rankings.In many cases a site has to be online for not less than a certain amount of time before search eng...

Flipping Real Estate - "Subject-To" Investing
2008-12-27 15:38:00 There are a variety of real estate investing strategies that can make an investor a lot of money. Most of them can be done with "no money down" techniques. One of these techniques is known as "subject-to investing." This is a strategy I still use today for many of my investment deals.This technique is a way to purchase property with no money down by taking over the seller's mortgage. Many times a seller will want to sell this way if they are going through a foreclosure. This is a quick and easy way to sell their house and it works for both parties involved. The seller gets to sell quickly to avoid a foreclosure and get out of the situation and the buyer (being you) gets to purchase the property with no money, no credit, and no liability. The buyer will take over the mortgage and payments for the time being and immediately put the property on the market for sale in hopes to sell the property for a profit.Many of you might be thinking it doesn't make sense that a seller would want t...

Flipping Freaks
2008-08-27 04:41:00 Jeff Lewis. What can I say? I don’t know whether to love the man, worship him or be scared shitless of him. It’s so bizaare that we share so many common traits. I watch Flipping Out with my mother and I can’t say how many times Jeff does or says something that makes her glance in my direction with that look that says, “you know that is exactly what you do!” Oh shit. Am I really that neurotic? Compulsive? Obsessive? Well, I suppose I can be (and can be a bitchy queen about things too) and is probably why I love the show and find him so utterly fascinating. I suppose it didn’t dawn on me until this season and the incident with the white curtains. They weren’t the precise shade of white he wanted or envisioned and he just obsessed over them even while doing other things and talking to other people. It just totally consumed him. How like me. When just the slightest thing is out of place or case in point, the neighbor’s pool filter hums a...

Sometimes he's so flipping cute
2008-04-30 23:00:00 Joseph is up in his room right now throwing a yelling, crying, kicking temper tantrum because Elle looked at once of his books. He's yelling things like "This proves it! I knew they never loved me!" and "Why did I even make her a mother's day present?!?" He came by the nickname Drama Joe honestly.To remind myself that he's not always a whirling dervish of emotion and angst I'll tell you a cute little story. Today when Joseph came out of school to be picked up I could see he was clutching something tightly in his hands. When he got to the car I opened up the door for him and he handed me what he had been holding: a little plastic container with 4 tiny plants growing in it. "Mommy!" he said breathlessly "I planted these at school! Now we can save money on groceries because I'm growing my own carrots!"See? He's cute sometimes.

Flipping the Linux switch: Control freaks, meet KDE Kiosk

There's nothing quite as nerve-wracking as seeing someone on a computer you're responsible for, and wondering what exactly they're up to. Except for maybe seeing someone you're responsible for on a computer, and wondering the same thing.
