In the words of the great prophet Jimmy Buffett: “…it’s a jungle out there kiddies, have a very fruitful day…” Hey Brandon Turner You were such a good-looking lad – what happened...:):):) See what we do out here Chris?

I can imagine some people may look at me like I'm nuts.

With such a small number of nuts, I don't see how the coin laundry can operate at a profit, so that will increase costs too.You need to get the price down to even think about this deal.

In my mind, going overboard in decorating ONLY makes sense if you don't intend to sell (as is the case you have described)....so you get to enjoy the fruits of your labors (and money spent).

@Matt LiuWhen you use theDiotemacous Earthyou must use the food quality variety, that is used on fruits, vegies and grains and it will be non-toxic to humans.

Now it is $450.I know a lot of people think buying a house that barely cash flows is nuts but I believe we have been wrongly conditioned to think cash flow is king.

The idea is to cover one's nut and not have to lose anything, maybe god forbid have positive cash flow. ..then arrive at the end point of owning things outright.

That is your safety line from the nuts who sue over everything.

I know SOME HOAs can get nuts, hopefully I'll never be a part of one that is unreasonable My other point was just the extra cost to improve my home.

Sounds like you may have some nuts!
