I have been seriously thinking about investing in a property (worth not over $30K) and flipping it for a profit.
Just wondering if anyone out there has succefully flipped a property. Do you have any tips?
So it looks like I might end up inheriting about $10,000 USD. While this is not a ton of money, I am looking for ways to invest the money that would end up making a bigger profit. I have thought about flipping a small house, or investing in rental property, but I would like to gain other's opinions ...

I'm doing a report on aviation safety at school, and had a quick question.

Jump to postIMO, if such a system is ever implemented it would be as a back-up to the traditional "wired" system. This is not a bad idea at all, it is just a matter of time for it to be developed at a low cost and be efficient.
