Then when you catch your breath, get back to hunting for deals with a refreshed spirit.  

The Japanese Yen, for example,is at ¥123 to US$1.The attraction to investing in Japan properties is mainly for monthly cash flow.

I have told the story before of a Japanese delegation stopped at my Cupertino office back in the day and asked why we handled commissions the way we do in the states.

When tenant left, I put 4000 in to bring up to code and refresh.

Martin I did a quick check of the 2013 CA Residential Code as a refresher (specifically section R305.1.1) because it went into effect a couple months ago.

A click or two on the home button or refresh and it will straighten itself out but it keeps happening.

And mid 6 figures was not uncommon.. not many 7 figure but 50 to 500k per logging show was pretty routine. then the Japanese economy collapsed and there went the big dollars.. still decent money in it..

So all I have to do is "refresh" and than repost.

Could not get my mind wrapped around the IT business any more (if you can believe that), too long in I guess (Since 1984), and decided that if I had to relearn or refresh, I was going to make a clean break.

There are many vendors that will take care of grimy grout or minor chips and dents, refresh cabinets, etc for a reasonable cost.
