Hi Everyone,My name is KJ and I am a native washingtonian that now lives in Virginia.

I have been involved in several lively discussions on here, but I don't think I have introduced myself.My name is Mike, my wife is Eva and we have six children, all but one is 18 or older now.I bought my first real estate investment at the age of 19, and have bought and sold, made money, lost money, but have fun doing it.I work as a Finance Director for a Non Profit company that runs a Head Start, Substance Abuse Recovery and Job Training Program, mostly for Native Americans.

Even my U.S. born ones were hard working, but our "error rate" with recruitment was somewhat higher with the "natives," so to speak.

That's over your $4000 budget and someone has to weed the flower beds.The lowest maintenance yard I have is all in native vegetation.

Any natives?
