If your cash position to invest is 500 or 5,000, the best advise is to continue to hoard and educate yourself through this site with seasoned pros in this industry and experienced pros in other asset classes els where. stock tips are worthless unless your friends dad works for an airline that gets a favorable decision on a plane crash case(wallstreet, circa 1987;). p.s. invest in what you know, if you know little invest in your education, books, seminars, etc.

Flights are currently postponed/anticipated to start January 2019 due to the airlines offering more flights out of Paine field than they were originally approved for by the FAA.

I was talking to my banker in Hillsboro and asking them how the other builders are doing  and its slow across the board.. and I think what you seeing Is pricing finally starting to level off.. which will mean subs will have to quite jacking their prices and lumber will have to calm down or building is going to slow a lot .Now one thing that was floated at least in our area here is this was the first summer that many finally felt financially safe enough to go on that extended vacation that they had been putting off so foot traffic is way down.. and I know when I go to PDX I am usually parking on the very top floor :).. and airline tickets to Hawaii have doubled and tripled .. so we know demand is there.
