One particular point stuck out at me:  "Don't use my own money - if the deal is great other people will invest"

Here's a list of reasons why I think that statement is profound regardless of where you source your funds from:

Arizona is currently wrestling at all levels of government regarding the regulation of home-based businesses and whether you need the government's permission to work out of of your house.

Today we delve into the strange and unexplainable stories between landlords and tenants:
