The outcome was great.. they secured a mid-century home with a rental unit that offered both a comfortable living space and a reliable income stream.On a personal note, a friend of mine made a bold move and purchased in a slightly less popular area.

i.e. hard money, friend/family money, 401k loan.

We are living in the Golden era of wine right now - never before has there been so much good inexpensive wines - but like golf there's just not enough users to demand all the supply.
