Inside the Studio

Posted on August 24, 2006 - Filed Under Personal |

I thought about this last night and decided to put it out there.

I’ve decided that I’d like to dedicate a post to you.

I love it when you take time to ask questions.  Sometimes, I feel bad because the comments section is too small to write a decent response.  I wind up cutting my responses to just a few words and I feel like I’m short changing the question.

Here’s what I propose.  Use the comments link below and ask me any question you want.  No matter how little, minor or big it might be.  If I mentioned something real brief in an article and you want to know more, now is your chance to ask.

A couple of questions will be chosen.  On Wednesday (08-30-2006), that post will be for those questions.

Since this is the Internet, I do have to make some subjects off limits.  For instance, if you’re interested in my real estate investing, I won’t answer any direct questions regarding exact figures of money.  Also nothing too personal; my dating life and sex life are off limits as well as what I look like naked. 

Put your thinking caps on.  You have until 12:00 a.m. PST, 8/28/2006 to submit your question.

I look forward to hearing from you!

If you liked that post, then try these...

    Cliff, mind posting your total costs for the home remodel? How is the housing market where you live? Do you think your home will sell fast when you list it? What are you going to do when it goes under contract? Are you going to start looking for a new home?

    Ok - I have 2.

    When you financed this property, was it treated as a primary residence or as an investment property?

    Do you know how long it takes for a closed account to drop off of your credit report?

    Thanks!
