Remarkable

I am teaching in Hyderabad for a few weeks in March. Fortunately, my kids' spring break coincides with some of the time I will be there, so they will fly over and join me. The cost of a roundtrip ticket on Qatar Airlines (change in Doha) is $1350. The Great Circle distance between Washingon and Hyderabad is about 8500 miles, or 17,000 miles round trip. This means that the cost of getting from Washington to Hyderabad is about 8 cents a mile.

  1. If you’ve got a great deal, but don’t have the money for a down payment, find a private lender. This is any individual that has extra money set aside that you can use for your purchase. This person can be a family member, friend, dentist, doctor, dry cleaner, a member of your real estate investment club, etc. Private investors are everywhere; you just need to start asking.
