There is probably nothing I can say about thankfulness or thanksgiving that hasn\u2019t already been said and probably more eloquently put. But like love, your thankfulness is something you can continually give away and never run out of. It\u2019s never too often and usually never too late to think about thanking someone.

For you parents out there, if you can imagine how it warms your heart when your children genuinely thank you for all that you do for them, you have a glimpse of how God must feel we we take time to express our gratitude. And although this show is no more religious than it is political, both topics are an important part of our lives and are destined to come up from time to time. So I just want to ask you right now to think about how often you pray. How many times per week? What percentage of those times when you pray do you ask God for something? 100% or close to it? The alternative is just sitting in His presence in gratitude, worship, or just with a listening heart?

Part of my challenge for you today is to focus for a few days on thankfulness. If you pray, try praying without asking for anything (\u201cbless this food\u201d is still asking for something). If you don\u2019t pray, it could be something you want to try. But even then, there is someone in your life you could be thanking for something. Think about them. Then Thank them. Even if you have before. We are going to talk more about thankfulness and actually join with some of the members of the Flipping America REIA in giving thanks in just a few minutes, but first I want to get to a backlog of your questions.\xa0

And then perhaps continue on. You do a LOT of things for 2 minutes you don\u2019t really need to do. Why not spend 2 on something that can bring you genuine joy.\xa0

• Carson, Plano, TX \u201cWhat are a few pros and cons of out-of-state investing?\u201d
• Hank, Portland, OR, \u201cGlad I found your show. I\u2019ve enjoyed listening. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard this a million times, but I would like to know your\xa0 opinion on the best way to get started in this business.
• Becca, Milwaukee, WI \u201cI\u2019m looking at a deal that just by the numbers looks like a good deal. But when I look at the house it just doesn\u2019t feel right. My boyfriend tells me I should trust the numbers but my realtor kind of agrees with me - it's just an ugly house situated on a weird lot. Am I missing an opportunity if I say no to this?
• Sandy, Chattanooga TN, \u201cI have an opportunity to buy a rental house in a gentrifying neighborhood just south of downtown. Although it\u2019s improving, the schools there are still terrible and crime is high. The house would yield 2% per month in rents. But I\u2019m hesitant. Can you help me think about this?\u201d
• Roy, Baltimore, MD, \u201cMy partner and I have been offered six row houses - the entire block for $5,000. They are all vacant and need a lot of work, and I know there are a lot of vacant homes around. But if we controlled the entire block, it seems like we shouldn\u2019t pass it up. Our plan would be to fix them and rent them out until the neighborhood comes back, then sell. Your thoughts?\u201d
• Gary, Harrisburg, PA, \u201cI was driving to Philly the other day and was surfing radio stations until I came across your show. Interesting stuff. I\u2019ve been thinking about buying some rentals for side income. Can you give me some pointers on how to find something good in Harrisburg?
• Jackie, Villages of Ocala, \u201cMy husband and I own 25 rental properties back in Michigan where we are from. We are thinking of selling them and using the money to buy similar inventory here in Florida. There\u2019s no income tax here and we think we would do better. But although we live here now, we are new here and not that familiar with property in Florida. It\u2019s hard to give up something that works for something that might work a little better. We\u2019d like you to weigh in.\u201d
• Lupe, Boulder, CO, \u201cI heard you mention that you love working with Realtors. Please explain why. It seems like they get paid a lot for doing nothing. I mean, it\u2019s not that hard to list a property.\u201d
• Bernita, Macon, GA, \u201cIs there any way to tell whether or not you need a new roof without getting up on it? I don\u2019t want to climb on a roof.\u201d
