Brief Overview: I found the meeting fun and informative.

Looking for advice... we are considering borrowing against our deferred compensation retirement account to pay cash for a property. Can we renovate it and then take out a mortgage to pull the money back out? Has anyon...

Especially since I have been reading and watching videos based on how tenants can not be very fun.

Here's some fun charts and figures that was a link on the new "National Landing" (new neighborhood name made up by Amazon and JBG Smith I presume) website:https://apps.urban.org/features/amazon-hq2-washing...

Was the money worth having all that fun!?

If you don't need the cash flow, and the property breaks even in the current market, then you're really just speculating, and if you have the money to speculate it may not matter one way or the other, much like it may not matter if you go to Vegas and blow a grand at the casino if you have the grand to blow. 

In my opinion, this is when REI can be really fun- without a bank, a deal can look any way you want it to look.

That looks like a fun project!

I figured I would go the fun route instead.

But If I knew they were going to so quickly change their minds, maybe I would of done a little less fun ;-) YOLO!
