Do I really hate rentals? Nah…

Yesterday, Paul and I taught a 90 minute class at The Greater Springfield Board of REALTORS on “Tips & Tricks to Managing Rental Properties” in Springfield, MO. There were probably 60 REALTORS there to hear what we had to say about managing rental properties, hear our war stories and share theirs. Or maybe [...]

Spoke Too Soon

I guess I spoke too soon in my post on my health insurance coverage on the Omnipod Insulin Pump that I wrote last night.  And I guess United Healthcare (UHC) are ‘Pod Haters afterall.
