Encouraging to the local investor.sometimes it seems greener elsewhere

And the most profitable steel company on planet is located in Pueblo, CO.thanks,Mattps.

It also has arguably the best diving on this side of the planet, and that's one of the reasons I'm excited about the trip this spring.

The architectural character is well on it's way to the abyss of "Modern design" leaving those that built this community looking for greener pastures. 

Mostly because I don't think any lender on the planet would lend on that deal......Normally, there's always some angle I try to come up with to help.

Brian, being in Los Angeles I have struggled with the age old question for a decade: Is the grass really greener on the other side?

I'm just down the road from you here in Manteno (20 mins south of mokena) so its good seeing someone else on the planet thinks buy and hold by us is a good idea. 

@Steve Vaughan Stick to your little WA rural investments... the grass is not greener going far afield and especially to the mid west .. were renter demographics are nothing like were your at..

Look for opportunities that are right in front of you before making a decision that the grass is greener because some else said so.

I have seen some work magically through forbearance and then fall of the planet post modification.
