@Nate Wightman  rural Oregon was dependent on timber yes.. and the spotted owl and marbled murilet led to a crash in the market.Bend is an outlier for Oregon... there are a few  like Hood river. 

Questions:1) Is that a beam of marble or a beam of wood at the bottom of the tub?

But what if there is and the lender is just not pursuing the debt (statue of limitations has passed)? 

I spend a lot of time ready state statues on tax sale laws.

I went and looked at buildings, I loved the building I bought because of the original details: 100yr old original front doors, original marble fireplace with carved figure of woman with owl on her shoulder, etc.

Not that this attorney knows everything but, I would venture to say that based on the lack of statues and case law posted in other threads they are more opinion based.

Sorry to hear that.Ever think about burying a statue of St.

Then matched a cultured marble 61" double bowl top for $130.  

Short-term rentals: Start with vacation properties we’d use ourselves, maybe Marble Falls or Canyon Lake, and build the property as a destination (like my friend Mike Elefante has done).

@Gina C.I'm not necessarily looking for cheap at all.The apartments are mid range "luxury apartments" so they need to be modern, cool or desirable.The high end marble isn't cost effective and that is why I was considering butcher blocks because tenets have expressed interest in them but they are also really inexpensive.So many great people on the forum have suggested that they are a nightmare to maintain and they get water damaged around sinks so I am probably going to stay away from them.Just looking for a durable material that will last a long time and doesn't break the bank too much.Leaning toward prefab granite at this point.
