We're not talking big bucks here, especially if you can install yourself and buy gently used. 

In our household the rental income does all the heavy lifting (covers living expenses) and her income is more like Monopoly money, and goes towards mani/pedi/massages, and crazy expensive "healthy" foods that she loves.

So my humble advice to you is if you are having trouble finding amazing deals...Ideally, get a website, make love to SEO, spank it, .. don't be nice and gentle.. ask it "Who is your daddy". 

I can only ask God to be gentle at this point. 

For years, many BP folk have been gently prodding @Bill Gulley to pen a similar series of blog posts on lending and regulation ... maybe your series will serve to prod him along.

If there is already a bad taste in people's mouths you are going to educate them gently.

They all look great to me but I really don't want someone to call for a massage.

By good I mean, practical, knows the building code, and is not afraid to push back at the City in a gentle but firm manner.Let us know what you find out.

This is my first post here, so please be gentle if I'm messing anything up!

They may have to massage their report quite a bit, but it can and does happen.I'll post some encouragement in a little bit.
