Start with reading lots of books, and if you currently rent a primary residence should be first on your list. Just my opinion

@David C. I met with Stephen Barkley and he seems pretty solid. Thanks for the lead. I mentioned "David C. from Hillsboro" but he didn't recognize you without your last name :) 

 Hey Tara, I'm glad it went well. I keep my last name off here to try and remain a bit google proof! Steve is a great guy honest, hard working, knows his stuff. I've really learned it's best to work with the best =)

If possible you could move back in making it your primary, then get the better heloc and then move out. Another option would be a cash out refinance of the whole mortgage that would get your 75% ltv.

A quick note about above, I was talking about the leader of the hillbilly terrorist group, not the now dead guy who used foster children as free slave labour to work his ranch and make it profitable, or was that another guy who abused foster children that was a member of this group? Hard to keep up with it all

I'm a ranchers son before you start your rant about how I don't understand ranching

Burns in lockdown' after 1 rancher shot dead by FBI?!

Man killed in an FBI shootout in Oregon was a rancher and foster parent to 50 boys

 So no one said a thing about feds good. There not good or bad if we don't like what they are then we need need to change it, not buy taking over federal buildings and land with machine guns. Not to play the race card as a midlife white guy but if these were a black/muslim group mith assault rifles I don't think it would be viewed as it has been and I do believe it already would of been handled one way or another. It's acalled domestic terrorism not sure what else you could call it?

Revolution, futile. never said that, but this bunch aren't going to start a revolution, there just wanting free use of federal lands as if we took it away from the federal government they just get it all, lol. 

As to the one rancher shot dead, this is an example of restraint. He should really count his lucky stars! And his current charges are laughable based on what he's done. Hopefully they'll actually charge him with everything he's done, you shouldn't be able to take a federal building or any building for that part with a bunch of guys with assault rifles and not spend some serious time behind bars. This is a country you can vote and protest in, your level of participation options make so many in the world envious of your freedom. you can change things proven by history over and over. A bunch idiots with guns never makes a thing better

If your doing a flat room you really need to do pto or vinyl, anything else on a flat roof won't last for the long term. It's more$$ but it'll last 40+ years. If you want where I just got one done last year mail me, there work was great and on budget except for what we found when we tore it off. That part hurt, well the whole thing hurt really =) I can send you right to the estimator dropping my name gets me future consideration and you them really trying to make refferals happy

As you read about those two options you'll read some bad info about tpo but if you really dig into it. Tpo was always good if you went white, it's when you tried other colors that problems happened. Most long term reputable roofers who know what there doing only offer white.

As some 200 FBI vehibles storm Ranch in Burns, OR it's quickly starting to look like the next 'Waco'-like federal siege in the making. Remember that Davidian cult? (Well at least how the story went per mainstream media, anyways??)

We are watching history in the making. What happens in this Oregon stand-off is pivotal for property rights and the freedom to peaceable assemble in the future. By the way, both of these activities are protected under the Constitution. Please note that the FBI agents refused to accept a pocket version of Constitution from the Bundy group. The FBI knows what they are doing is wrong and they don’t want any reminders of their unconstitutional behavior. Hence, the FBI agents and their refusal to accept a pocket version of the Constitution. The refusal of these FBI “guards” to accept a pocket size version of the Constitution is the symbolic event of this whole ordeal.

 Ohh where to start. 

What happens in this Oregon stand-off is pivotal for property rights uhh not really, these are people trying to cheat the fed's out of money owed to use our land. You have a contract pay the bill or get off the land.... federal land belongs to the people not these crack pots

freedom to peaceable assemble, I don't think it's peaceful when you show up with assault weapons quoting scripture etc. and occupy federal lands, once again these are crack pots

Ohh I guess all I can say is the bundy group should be ohh so glad I'm not in charge, I would of skipped the FBI and national guard for that matter and called in the marines, they would of been given an hour to surrender. I'd be upfront and honest you can walk out here and head to federal prison on your own charged with a long list of crimes, or you can come out feet first, you decide. This is nothing but an act of terrorism that we can't stand for. If they'd of done that in Texas it would of been bloody, but this wouldn't be happening now. And I'm a non violent liberal type, but this is so wrong on so many levels.
