@Josh CochranYea that's nuts!

TOTALLY NUTS.

and in Oregon our non english speaking hispanic labor force at Home Depot has unionized and they all ask for 15 to 20 an hour  Inflation.. as  a side note we deal with this in new construction when they buyer wants to change a light fixture they saw at HD for 50 bucks.. and you have to charge them 300 to change it they go nuts and cant understand why..

I love WA state mainly the areas closer to the Canadian border (I love the Cascades) We have rental properties in Kelowna and Victoria but the prices here are nuts.

Yes my silly muffin, Apple is a fruit, and if that name was used in a apple processing plant, that name would not be brandable.

Then you can tell me what I got wrong in my forecast afterward :)Ok going to do my best to get there.. traffic can be nuts from lake O..  

Company 401k is a tough nut to crack :) They might loan you up to 50%, if they have such programs in place. it's putting the cart before the horse somewhat, don't you think?

As far as food goes, kind of a low hanging fruit, so I won't get into it, but the Portuguese food in the Ironbound is awesome, and the Portuguese festival in the summer is great, but I'm not sure what the status of it is these past few years.

My ~$150K home is paid off, and I'm considering taking out a HELOC on it in order to make the 25% down payment on a $200K rental quad.I've created a spreadsheet to analyze what I think are all the numbers, but would just like general opinions as to whether this is nuts or not.Monthly rents in the quad are about $650 each.

To me, it seems like this would be an excellent 1-2 year crash course to learn the "nuts and bolts" of the industry for a variety of reasons.
