From time to time a real estate course catches my eye that is really showing me something new, different and exciting and I try to do my best to get the word out- this new program by John Shaver falls into that category. Do yourself a favor and Click Here! to check it out and see what You think .
Here is what just a few others had to say about the program-
John's software helped me find a 4200 square foot - 6-bedroom home on the golf course for only $2000 down. We sold it 18 months later for a $170K profit. I still can't believe it!-- Kelly Ward, Housewife - Tucson, AZ
Every home I found because of John's system I've made money on. Right now I'm easily over $300K in equities and cash. This guy knows real estate and I recommend him to anyone and I'll stand behind that. Thanks John!-- Keith Barker, Lehi, Utah
Knowing John and his software put close to a $100K in my pocket in less than a year on 3 deals! What John has done I believe will change how investors look at, and buy Real Estate. Not to mention John cut my prospecting down by about 95%. Being a senior technical instructor for a large technology company, I can't tell you how important that is.-- Anthony Marshall, Las Vegas, NV
John's APS software helped me find a property that I flipped and walked away with a $43K check from the title company. I continue to use him and his system because it enabled me to quit my job. I'm happy to now say that I'm an ex-truck mechanic!-- Steve Loui, Washington, Utah
The best real estate marketing I've ever seen! John helped us sell a multi-million dollar property in record time. It's always a pleasure to work with a top professional.-- Val M., Attorney, Las Vegas, NV
The first time I looked at John's formula and software I was absolutely amazed. When I saw it, I knew this was the way to buy and find properties. Little did I know I'd be using it two weeks later to purchase a home. Because of John, I could easily sell this home for a $50K profit right now if I wanted to. I can't thank John enough for what his teachings are doing for my family's future and me.-- Lisa Curtis, Mom of four - Las Vegas, NV

Lowes vs. Home Depot
Now that it's rainy and freezing outside, I'm starting to return my attention to my indoor plants. No, I didn't forget about you guys!I went to Lowes to pick up another flat of pansies and get some glass cut to make a cover for a terrarium. (Tip: A 10" x 20" piece of glass, with the edges sanded, fits perfectly on a 10 gallon aquarium. ) I love terrariums since I can get focused on the outdoors, babies, work, etc. and forget about them for a while, and the plants don't look neglected.When I returned home, my husband asked a really annoying question. (No, he didn't ask how much I spent. He is good about not questioning my plant habit.)He asked: "Why didn't you go to Home Depot?"In honor of election day, we had a short debate about which hardware store is better.My hubby is very loyal to Home Depot, based on several logical reasons:1) We own a tiny amount of Home Depot stock, and shopping there for a lifetime might raise the price per share one billionth of a point.2) They are based in his hometown.3) Tony Stewart, driving the #20 Home Depot car, may have a temper but at least he's not a cheater, like Jimmy Johnson in the #48 car.4) He likes the color orange.5) They seem to focus on selling over-powered tools that few men really need, but many men buy anyway.Now my rebuttal:1) Lowes will cut glass for frames and terrariums projects, while Home Depot won't.2) Lowes was the first major chain hardware store in my small hometown. (This perhaps hurt the local small hardware store, which was full of crusty old guys on sitting around on stools, chatting it up, and making me feel like I didn't belong there.)3) Jimmy Johnson is cute in his Lowes NASCAR outfit.4) I like the color blue.5) They seem to have a larger selection of bird houses.Ok, I've reported, now you decide.(Don't even get me started on FOX news vs. CNN)

I shopped Home Depot originally and still do. However, I started going to Lowe's to compare and we like them better for some thing. For example, our new dishwasher, gas range, and refrigerator all come from Lowe's. So far I prefer the plants at Home Depot.To make the comparison shopping even easier they've just built a new Lowe's next door to the old Home Depot. Our money goes pretty evenly between the two. My biggest problem is remembering which store I'm in and where to find stuff.

We didn't have Lowe's in IL when I lived there, but there was a Home Depot a few towns over so I'd been there a few times. When we moved to Austin I found Lowe's first and liked it. The Home Depot turn out to be just a mile past Lowe's. If I'm the one looking, I always go to Lowe's first, [they seem to carry more organic gardening products], but if I'm with my husband, he tends to drive to Home Depot first. When it comes to plants, it just depends. Sometimes you can trek through 3 independent nurseries and several big box stores and still come home disgruntled and empty handed. There also seems to be a great deal of difference in what's offered in the Lowes and Home Depots in other parts of Austin - one of the Divas gets unbelievable bargains at her Lowe's.There is still a crusty old hardware store not too far from me - useful for odd objects but no plants. That store also features lots of survival gear, camoflage and hate posters with Jane Fonda, so it kind of freaks me out to go there - but they make keys well and fast!

I like Lowe's better; my husband likes HD better. Our problem is mainly geography, though. Lowe's is a pain to get to. I think guys like HD better because it seems more macho. Lowe's is more like a yuppie home improvement store. If you're looking for a political stand, Lowe's blue sign IS a sign...

I prefer Lowes over Home Depot most of the time. I also like Menards. I rarely buy plants at Lowes or Home Depot because they just don't take care of them. I like the Menards nearest my house because I know someone who works part-time in the garden department and she helps them take good care of the plants.

I'm starting to see a trend here...is Lowe's generally more female friendly while guys prefer HD?Interesting...

I like Lowes better, definitely. But, I like to support the local businesses so my husband and I usually go to whatever Ace Hardware is around. They are usually locally owned. And stuff is usually much easier to find than in Home Depot, in my experience.

The Lowe's here in my town has horrible service - I can never find anyone to get stuff down from the higher shelves, or to answer a question. Except for once - when I was going in trying to figure out how to repair my roof for under $100. An awesome guy waited on me, who even drew on the package of shingles a step-by-step description of what I needed to do (and it worked!). Otherwise, Lowe's drives me nuts, the Home Depot is a bit far away from my usual route, so I...either do without or go to the local family-owned hardware store (which I like best anyway).
