.’” — Robert Dietz, NAHB’s Chief EconomistFrom Kristen: Fingers crossed that the Fed will 'reverse course' in either March or April, and give us a 'gift' of lowered interest rates to help fuel the spring real estate market!

1) Personally I think the $12k is a gift.

When I see rust eating at welds like this I wonder how much of the problem comes from the management company (Rust never sleeps).A maintenance tech scheduled for some time with a wire brush and some Rustoleum could have saved this expensive cement tread stairway.Now it a welder (if it's salvageable) and the Rustolem, plus the cost to construct that ugly unpainted wood bridging system, and tear it down.And despite all of the drama that's going on, Mrs Kitty still has her favorite spot in the shade next to her food and water--a natural foe to garbage rats.

Any opinions out there which is your favorite of those two? 

Just curious what your favorite meetups in the area are?

If so, what are your favorite platforms for investing?

Hello All,What are your favorite places or forums to find great cash only deals?  

If you change it you may want to have an attorney look at your changes.I use zillow or apartments.com to accept applications, both offer services to run credit and do background checks.For screening you need to set your criteria before you start advertising.I recommend reading a book on landlording, my favorite is "Landlording on Autopilot".

I usually send someone on my team for the purpose of getting a testimonial and we give them a "thank you" gift.

We all have gifts that serve a purpose for the benefit of our communities, you do as well.As far as "having anything for the truly average American," yeah - they do.
