Linoleum actually is all natural and buffs and polishes beautifully.  

I now strive to know everything about the Chicago market.

So I went over to the neighbors and asked if I could buy a 7.3'x100' area I need, which ideally sits right behind a fence they built separating their beautiful property from this dilapidated one.Good news is they are open to it.

Saratoga is a beautiful area but not the best spot to be buying multifamily for the average/beginning investor. 

The most beautiful thing about real estate isnt the fact that its pound for pound the best way to generate wealth, but a lot of the mistakes can be prevented simply by spending time on this message board alone.

When I finally got to the property, after driving past the many neighboring, beautiful, bigger, newer homes on acreage along the way,  I quickly realized what the "problem"  was (or at least one of the problems): a huge power pole, complete with a transformer high up on it, was located about sixteen feet from the front of the house, centered on the front door!

I know this is a complete different path than what I have been striving for these past couple years but as I chase down financial freedom, I know that REI is the way to go.

I too enjoy seeing a home transform from ugly Betty to beautiful Betsy.

I had the entire house's hardwoods refinished and it ended up looking absolutely beautiful.  

Arizona is a beautiful place, and once I've found my success in Sacramento, I'm planning on expanding back to my hometown out there.I'm not too familiar with the Northern California market yet, but I know AZ is ripe for the picking!
