Unless your crystal ball is calibrated precisely or is a newer model than mine rent escalators, inflation rates, zoning changes, etc. are all GUESSES and thus a more complicated analysis is dubious at best.

I have no idea what the future holds...my crystal ball is in the shop ;-)Even if those cities make a comeback you may have to wait a very long time for it to happen.

I do like the word solutions in the name, just make sure it is crystal clear that you want deals.

Well, after checking my crystal ball, it is not certain.

LOLYou just can't give an estimate of value from any crystal ball with the information you gave us.I have nothing really.You said they borrower defaulted immediately after the closing, this usually indicates fraud, so I would really dig deeper in to title issues and any claims that might be made by others.As to subordinate liens, notice is given to all known lien holders in the foreclosure process, notice of dishonor and demand so they have a chance to show up and bid.

I believe what is required is laminated glass, so that when it breaks, it flakes of in small crystal type pieces and will stick tothe lamination between the glass.That what the picture window had to be that I put a few inches above the jacuzzi (with blinds, lol).I would suggest calling your local building trade association, like the area Home Builders Association that contractors belong to.

Much appreciated, I am sure many who are unaware of such options can learn from your post.For this thread, I was trying to gear more towards which company offers the best 401k options for self direction/self administered as well as who likes IRA or 401k options better.I think it is crystal clear that the 401k is the better option vs. the IRA and the tow major reasons are ability to contribute more each year and borrowing provisions.

If only I had a crystal ball and know when to sell.

Just to be crystal clear for you and everyone, there is a bid difference between double closings and simultaneous closings.

What was his "crystal ball" MOST concerned about?
