"Don't Go Mia"... Miami as it turns out! In Whoopee, We're All Going to Die, the brilliant conclusion to Series Three, the Porters near the end of their Florida holiday and their lives are in danger as Hurricane Bill follows them. J.D.'s guest this week is David Collins... his Dad! Plus, art (slightly) imitates life in this week's Marshall's Memory.
Bill Allen has turned house flipping into a 7 figure business with his companies 7 Figure Flip, Flip Hacking Live, and Black Jack Real Estate. He takes pride in the rehab work his company does, so when he was accused of selling a house with rotten siding, he felt like his reputation was at stake.The Boca Raton house was a difficult flip from the beginning. As a larger, nicer home in a vacation area, buyers could afford to be picky about what they wanted because there were plenty of houses to choose from. During the rehab, Bill came across some wood rot because, like many homes on the ocean, the constant exposure to rain and damp ocean air wreaks havoc on the siding. But after three separate inspections, Bill felt confident that he’d done his due diligence to repair the house.Maybe it was the fact that he was a “big, bad flipper”, or maybe it was his high-profile in the real estate world, but when a lawsuit tracked him down two years later, Bill knew that the charges were false. He was determined to make the situation right, even if it meant personally purchasing the house back from the buyers.But wait, there’s more. Because after a while, Bill decided to sell the house again, but two weeks before the property closed, a hurricane hit Florida. Currently locked in a disagreement with the insurance company, Bill has some tips for investors whose markets are vulnerable to natural disasters. And even though nothing has turned out smoothly with this house, Bill feels that he did the right thing in protecting his good name.What's Inside:—Being in a high profile business, having a real estate coach, or being a real estate podcaster are all factors that might come into play when you’re threatened with a lawsuit.—How buying a high-end house in a low-end area limited Bill’s choices for buyers.—Does paying more for good coverage really matter with hurricane insurance?—Rebuilding after a hurricane might take creativity and ingenuity to protect against future hurricane seasons.
More than 20 miles from the nearest port at Mount Desert Island in Maine, low-lying, wave-swept Mount Desert Rock is only about 17 feet above sea level at its highest point. Congress appropriated $5,000 for a lighthouse on Mount Desert Rock on March 2, 1829, to aid mariners heading to Frenchman and Blue Hill Bays from the south. The light went into operation on August 25, 1830. The structure weathered many storms before being replaced by a new 58-foot granite tower in 1847. The new tower was designed by the noted architect Alexander Parris. Mount Desert Rock Light Station in 2002. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. The station was automated in late 1977.

I talk about the Dyatlov Pass Incident, probably for way too long, and then My friend (Hurricane) Bill tells about his birthday at the Mystery Dinner Theater. I've always wondered how those places worked and it's never been that far away from me. Have you ever been?
Greetings Survivor Fans, Now gather round boys and girls. It's time for another spectacular round of Listener Feedback. Before we get to the meat of it though, Jo Ann and I would like to thank all of you that listen in and participate in the show. We're thankful for being able to share this simple pleasure with each of you every week. Producing this podcast with you has elevated something we always enjoyed to an event that we really look forward to each week. We get excited like little kids whenever we hear from one of you or see a spike in the stats for the show. :) It's brought us a lot of joy and we hope you share in that too. Once again, there's lots of great analysis to share, so let's dig in. This week we hear from Bill, Shelley, Bob, Sandi, and Drew. And just in case you had not heard yet, there is a new episode on Thursday, and it should be a really good one! :) We want to hear from you, and each week we create a special show just like this one for that very purpose. We've got several ways you can join in and participate. You can call and leave a voicemail at 206-350-JASS(5277). You can record an audio comment and send it to us via email at joannandstacyshow@gmail.com. With either of those options, we can include your audio directly into the special Listener Feedback shows.

You can click that link and post your thoughts out there for everyone to see. The intro song this week is dedicated to Cindy, Lydia, Danni, and maybe even Rafe. We think/hope that there is a slim chance that they will "wake up" and see the possibilities to change the flow of the game before it's too late. The outro music is dedicated to all of them (even Judd) as this is a very critical time in the game. It's important to listen to everything that's being said.
