RB asked:


With the BP stock prices dropping, would it be a good opportunity to start investing in BP stocks now or pretty soon?

I doubt they will go bankrupt. They seem like a strong company even with what’s happening now.

What are your opinions on this?

Please no comment on the oil spill disaster. I just want to know if they would be a good company to invest in for the future.

Martha asked:


I have $1000 that I would like to invest. However, I have never done this before. This will be my first time investing. I would like an advice on who I can start investing with. I spoke to an Edward Jones advisor already, however I was researching Fidelity and it looks very attractive also. Please advice :)
Thank you, your help is very much appreciated!

I’m new to real estate investing but I think I found a good 7 unit building. I’m trying to figure out the cap rate etc but not sure what is a safe percentage to put towards maintenance. One investor told me 50% of the rent but that kills my equation. Any suggestions?
