Autobiography for D. Rod Lloyd, transitioning from an English background to a US adulthood.Lean what small things growing up formed the basis of the man.They say "to truly know and understand a man, you need to walk a mile in his shoes". Here is an opportunity to walk in my shoes and get to know me a little.There have been many autobiographies written by famous people or those who have made some notable contribution, making their story sought after. I write this not as a famous or prominent person, but as an average lad, for those who are interested, to see what my average life has consisted of and to truly see where I am coming from. I wish my grandparents had written such a book for me to know them better.In school I was the worst writer and speller. Now I am writing as a published author. This book has helped me understand my past and put all the pieces into prospective, understand how each experience has affected and influenced my life. Getting started was the hardest part. Once I started writing, I became addicted, consumed, I couldn't stop. It was almost like I needed to see where I came from and where it was taking me.They say when you have a near death experience, your life flashes before you. Writing your own life story is a much more civilized way to get what I assume is the same experience. It is a fascinating journey revisiting one's own life. Our memories are stored in the mind as little pockets of isolated information. Writing this book has allowed me to consolidate the memories into a logical and chronological order.

Don't Buy a Laundromat until you have read this.Owning a coin-operated Laundromat is a great business and can be very profitable. But, unless you have all new equipment, it can quickly nickel and dime you into making a loss and going out of business, losing your investment.I write this manual, not as a business major or certified appliance person [and certainly not an English major]. I write it as an average 'Joe' who bought a laundromat and needs to run and maintain the business to make an honest profit.The skills needed to run and maintain a laundromat are not rocket science and don't need expensive equipment: just common sense and logic. And for the macho guys out there, you will need to ask for help from time to time. I will assume you have no previous experience in repairing washers, dryers, change machines, etc. I will get you started on a journey to taking charge of your equipment. You will get great satisfaction in making common repairs and keeping your equipment working and earning you money. The only experience I have is what I have learned from MY machines. I do not represent to provide repair procedures for all brands, ages, and types of laundromat equipment, but I will teach you how I become familiar with my equipment, their personalities, their moods, and their limitations.I consider this a work in progress as every week I learn something new in my 'mat'. I do not have any problem paying for repair parts. That is the cost of doing business. What I want to avoid is the $95 service call to troubleshoot a problem by my local appliance repair company, then the part cost being doubled as their mark up and a second $95 service call to install the newly inflated part. Even if you only make one repair, you will save 10 times the cost of this book.

The most comprehensive and up-to-date book on mobile homes. Entry level investing into Real Estate.This is a nuts and bolts description of how to make money from mobile homes. I have no intention of talking you into this plan by giving brainwashing example after example of the deals. I am also not going to gloss over the pitfalls and problems of the system either. It is not a get rich quick scheme and there is some risk involved. It takes some cash to run the system and I do not recommend doing on a shoestring. It takes some time but can be a lot of fun. However, it is possible to make a very good return on your investment. Today interest rates have almost shriveled up and died. Those who have saved all their lives to have a secure retirement have a wakeup call from failed speculative investments or almost zero interest rates for the safe investments.

This book discusses the process of buying a property for the sole purpose of remodeling it to resell, commonly known as "flipping".This practice has been made popular by recent DIY programs on TV that tend to glamorize the process, but make no mistake; the process of house flipping is hard work, very stressful and requires a lot of money and skill.There are a couple of reasons why a person might want to flip a house. The first reason is it is a historic or classical building and a person wants to do the project for the love of the building. The second reason is TO MAKE MONEY. I believe 99% or more fall into the latter and this book deals with this.
