@Ned Carey Ned the only difference in our market is that the competition is SO KEEN  and these are semi rare.. that I usually just buy it first.. then work down the food chain... but these are in all cases that I do SCREAMING deals  LOL.s.. so you can stub your toe and still do fine.

I used BEHR interior semi-gloss enamal ultra pure white 3050 for ceiling, closets, and doors and trim (I still have to do the doors and trim.)

Same here, I called our local Bldg Insp for a permit 100amp to 200amp (semi rural property we own).

You'll find an excellent pool of tenants along with some semi-affordable housing options.

I am semi interested in determining if buying flood prone land for cheep and completing flood resistant homes (on high piers) is a viable strategy.

Are you looking for someone semi dry in CA?

If you haven't already you probably want to ally yourself with someone local or semi local who has been down this road before. 

How I long for the day when I can (semi) retire on my passive income.. ;) btw, I saw someone from the east coast on a bay area forum who was trying to buy property - specifically in Hercules - to my surprise.

A SEMI?

Give it a little character such as a semi circle to the expanded patio.
