Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick Angers Hamptons Neighbors With Hedge Blocking Views {AOL Real Estate}
Oct 14th 2012 6:49PM If buzy body neighbors blocked me from building on my own property in an agricultural designated area, I would bring in a pig farm or breed skunks for fur. Then give them the options of smell or view. An aquintance did something like this when his 4 generation farm was surrounded by Mcmansions and the objected when we announced he was going to build a small strip center on 10% of his land. They said it would lower their property value and change the rural view theymoved out from the city to get. So he brought in commercial pig farm, 3,000 pigs. Neighbors objected to smell, but it was zoned agricultural. Now all the mcmansions on all sides of his farm are for sale dime on the dollar
Whistleblowers Win $46.5 Million in Foreclosure Settlement {AOL Real Estate}
Jul 2nd 2012 1:55PM What it comes down to was people were buying more home than they could afford, confident that the"value" would continue to rise, and they could sell off andmake money on the deal. People were financing houses with true value of $40,000.00 for $100.000.00 and buying expensive furniture and cars . Had they saved money prior to buying and paid cash,they wouldn't have paid inflated price. Prices now being offered are still to high, but closer to value. I was offered a condo for $38,000. that two years ago sold for $160,000. and they put a new roof and newer A/c unit in since then. But it still has the neighbors who would make living their a pain (Kids have Garage band on one side guy on other side builds motorcyles and has drunk buddies reving up motors around the clock, and has 4 pit bulls barking ) Couldn't pay me to take that house. I suggested they sell it to a cop with a take home car to inforce the quiet.

Walmart, Target 'Small Box' Stores to Compete with Small Businesses {AOL Small Business}
Jun 17th 2011 6:58PM If local stores are offering quality goods at a reasonable price and offering good service, WalMart, Target ect don't have a chance. On the other hand, if the Mom and Pop store is offering over priced, out of date goods and not servicing the public properly, they will soon be history.I know of several small hardware stores that have survived and thrived afer Lowe's , Home Depo andsystem 84 came in with hugemegastores.The secret was the small store went out of theirway to find the productthe customer needed.. Scottie and system 84 went toes up and the local Lowes has down sized their staff.

May 6th 2011 6:05PM I have found most hotelshave everything I need for free all I have to do is ask. (If the room is more than $50.00 anyway) If you need something unussual, like a replacement charger for cell phone or lap top ask them to see if any in lost and found, ussually they have hundreds, last but not least ask if anybody left cd of movies, music or games, if it is more than a month old they will gie it to you. Have also picked up a nice set of unclaimed raybans that way. Also ask the maid if you want any beer ,wine or champaign, Lots of unopened bottles left in fridge at check out, I tipped maid $10 and had enough for party for 20 one weekend

I heard their are some girls doing it in Key Westand South Beach Miami as well. I prefer that to junk mail, or to the morons who keep sticking their ads in this reader response colum)
