I’m not sure if this is the reason for your feedback on the windows as I don’t know the climate of your market.

But regarding your own personal residence, be sure you are prepared for the heat of an inland climate.

What worries me is the rush to judgement given our current climate of bandwagon social values.

It took the country 12 years to recover from the great depression and now, all of a sudden, we all became a collective case of ADD (Attention deficit disorder).

Other than the typical drinking/disorderly issues or the occasional car break-ins that pop up in some neighborhoods I haven't seen a lot of serious or violent crimes in town.As with any small growing city there are pockets of crime that generally stay within some specific neighborhoods which are fairly easily to identify but generally its not bad.

This includes disorderly conduct, public urination, unlawful possession or use of a controlled substance and so on.

Maybe I'm too left brained, and I'm no doctor, but it sounds like talking to a medical professional about a possible anxiety disorder is required. 

The City is asking our partners to extend and increase their support to provide immediate and long-term assistance, including: Washington State  Allocate additional resources for mental health and substance abuse disorder treatment;  Set Medicaid rates for inpatient treatment at an amount that is sufficient to provide effective treatment;  Identify state-owned property to host authorized encampments, vehicle parking, emergency shelter, and housing;  Allocate intervention and other resources to address the public health and safety crisis associated with unauthorized encampments on state property along I-5, I-90, and SR-99, including implementing physical changes to those areas to minimize ongoing and longterm public health and safety risks.  Increase the amount and expand allowable support services in the Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG), including Housing and Essential Needs Program and stabilize funding for CHG;  Restore the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) to pre-recession levels; and  Authorize additional financing tools to expand affordable housing and ensure affordability and protections for tenants.

How would you recommenced a new investor to get active in a climate like this?

Kurt,We currently operate in a climate that will fetch excellent values for those looking to "cash out" in real estate.
